Patent ID: 8886321

Claim:
A method of optimizing the electrical stimulation of a bladder of a patient, the method comprising: selecting a first subset of electrodes from a set of electrodes positioned adjacent to nerves associated with the bladder, the set of electrodes including one or more electrodes, wherein each electrode of the set of electrodes is configured to deliver electrical stimulation pulses generated by a stimulator device to the nerves; delivering at least one electrical stimulation pulse through the first subset of electrodes; selecting a second subset of electrodes different from the first subset of electrodes; delivering at least one electrical stimulation pulse through the second subset of electrodes, wherein a magnitude of the at least one electrical stimulation pulse delivered through the first subset of electrodes is equal to a magnitude of the at least one electrical stimulation pulse delivered through the second subset of electrodes; recording at least one parameter associated with the at least one electrical stimulation pulse delivered through the first subset of electrodes after receiving patient feedback; and recording at least one parameter associated with the at least one electrical stimulation pulse delivered through the second subset of electrodes after receiving patient feedback.
