Abstract
Methods and circuitry for calibrating stimulation circuitry in an implantable stimulator device (ISD) is disclosed. The ISD can sense neural response to the stimulation, and use an algorithm to assess those responses and determine a therapeutic window for a particular stimulation parameter, such as amplitude. Stimulation circuitry in the ISD is programmed with information indicative of the determined therapeutic window, such as by programming a minimum and/or maximum current amplitude. As well as restricting operation of the stimulation circuitry to within the therapeutic amplitude window, such programming calibrates the stimulation circuitry and allows an expanded range of, or all of, amplitude values supported by the stimulation circuitry to be used, which allows the amplitude to be incremented in smaller current increments.
