Claim 0:
1. A method comprising:
conducting a pre-implant trial phase (148) using a universal spinal cord stimulator implantable pulse generator (“SCS IPG”)(106), comprising a processor (200) and sensors (139), wherein the SCS IPG (106) is configured to run a plurality of waveform protocols (133) to treat a patient (115) with a pain syndrome (134), further wherein the pre-implant trial phase (148) comprises individually applying each of the plurality of waveform protocols (133) to the patient (115) in series to measure at least one physiological parameter (146) consisting of heart rate, heart rate variability and oxygen tension;
storing the plurality of waveform protocols (133) and the at least one corresponding physiological parameter (146) in the SCS IPG (106) using the processor (200);
selecting a first waveform protocol from the pre-implant trial phase (148) plurality of waveform protocols (133);
implanting the SCS IPG (106) into the patient (115);
applying the first waveform protocol to the patient (115) during a treatment phase (151) to treat the pain syndrome (134), using the SCS IPG (106) processor (200);
determining if a physiologic tolerance of the pain syndrome (134) to the first waveform protocol changed as a function of comparing the at least one patient physiological parameter (146) measured during the treatment phase (151) to the same at least one physiological parameter measured in the pre-implant trial phase (148) for the first waveform protocol, using the SCS IPG (106) processor (200); and
in response to determining the physiologic tolerance of the pain syndrome (134) changed, initiating a modification of the first waveform protocol to an adapted waveform protocol (157), using the SCS IPG (106) processor (200).
