Abstract:
Systems and methods for producing asynchronous neural responses to treat pain and/or other patient conditions are disclosed. A method in accordance with a particular embodiment includes selecting a target stimulation frequency that is above a threshold frequency, with the threshold frequency corresponding to a refractory period for neurons of a target sensory neural population. The method can further include producing a patient sensation of paresthesia by directing an electrical signal to multiple sensory neurons of the target sensory neural population at the stimulation frequency, with individual neurons of the sensory neural population completing corresponding individual refractory periods at different times, resulting in an asynchronous sensory neuron response to the electrical signal.

Claim (Index 86):
A method for automatically adjusting stimulation delivered to a patient, the method comprising:\n applying an electrical stimulation signal to a neural population of a patient to evoke a neural response generated by the neural population, wherein the electrical stimulation signal has a first parameter value; measuring the neural response evoked by the applied electrical stimulation signal; comparing the measured neural response to a prior level; and after comparing the measured neural response to the prior level, automatically adjusting the first parameter value to a corresponding second parameter value based at least in part on the measured neural response.
