Abstract
Devices, systems, and techniques for identifying electrodes closest to a target region of tissue are described. In one example, a device includes sensing circuitry configured to sense electrical signals from a plurality of electrode combinations. Processing circuitry identifies a first electrode combination of a first subset of electrode combinations. Each electrode combination of the first subset of electrode combination includes electrodes located at different axial positions along a length of the medical lead. The processing circuitry identifies a second electrode combination of a second subset of electrode combinations. Each electrode combination of the second subset of electrode combinations includes electrodes located at a same axial position and different circumferential positions around a perimeter of the medical lead. The processing circuitry then determines a third electrode combination and controls delivery of electrical stimulation via the third electrode combination.
