Abstract:
A method of neurostimulation titration. The method includes setting titration parameters for an electrical signal delivered by an implantable medical device, initiating titration with the titration parameters and an aggressiveness profile, performing titration by increasing at least one of a current amplitude, a frequency, a pulse width or a duty cycle of the electrical signal until a threshold is reached or a side effect is detected, pausing the titration while waiting for commands from the patient or caregiver, and resuming the titration in response to receiving authorization from an external device.

Claim (Index 1):
A method of titrating a neurostimulation signal delivered to a patient from an implantable pulse generator, the method comprising:\n delivering a neurostimulation signal in conformance with a first set of parameters, the first set of parameters having a first value for at least one of output current, frequency, pulse width, or duty cycle; modifying the neurostimulation signal to conform with a second set of parameters, the second set of parameters having a second value for at least one of output current, frequency, pulse width, or duty cycle, the second value being greater in magnitude than the first value; receiving a hold indicator, the hold indicator being associated with a pre-defined titration hold point in response to the neurostimulation signal conforming with the second set of parameters; initiating an intermediate hold of the titrating of the neurostimulation signal in response to the hold indicator, the intermediate hold being a continuation of the neuromodulation signal conforming with the second set of parameters; and receiving an indication of a titration resumption that discontinues the intermediate hold.
