Abstract:
1. A method for controlling stimulation pulses applied via a plurality of electrodes to tissue of a patient during the programming of a pulse generator using a controller device by a user, comprising: selecting a first combination of electrodes; setting the value for a stimulation parameter for the stimulation pulses to be applied to the first combination of electrodes; receiving input from the user to change the first combination of electrodes to a second combination of electrodes; determining if the value for the stimulation parameter for the stimulation pulses is different than a predetermined value, and if the determination is positive, automatically changing the value for stimulation parameter for the stimulation pulses to be equal to the predetermined value; and if the determination is negative or subsequent to the changing of the value for the stimulation parameter for the stimulation pulses, changing the selected first combination of electrodes to the second combination of electrodes.
