Abstract
Systems, devices, and techniques are described for determining stimulation parameters based on one or more stimulation thresholds (e.g., a perception threshold or a detection threshold). In one example, a medical device includes sensing circuitry configured to sense one or more ECAP signals, wherein the sensing circuitry is configured to sense each ECAP signal of the one or more ECAPs elicited by a respective control pulse of a plurality of control pulses, and the medical device includes processing circuitry configured to determine, based on the one or more ECAP signals, a stimulation level for the plurality of control pulses that achieves a stimulation threshold, determine, based on the stimulation level, a value of a stimulation parameter that at least partially defines a plurality of therapy pulses of electrical stimulation therapy, and control stimulation generation circuitry to deliver the electrical stimulation therapy according to the value of the stimulation parameter.
