Abstract

Treatment can be determined using evoked compound action potential (ECAP). For example, a medical device includes stimulation generation circuitry and processing circuitry. The processing circuitry is configured to determine whether a characteristic of the first ECAP is greater than a threshold ECAP characteristic value. Based on the characteristic of the first ECAP being greater than the threshold ECAP characteristic value, the processing circuitry is configured to reduce a parameter of a first set of pulses delivered by the stimulus generating circuitry after the first ECAP. Further, the processing circuitry is configured to determine whether a characteristic of a second ECAP is less than the threshold ECAP characteristic value, and based on the characteristic of the second ECAP being less than the threshold ECAP characteristic value, increase a parameter of a second set of pulses delivered by the stimulus generation circuitry after the second ECAP.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates generally to electrical stimulation therapy, and more particularly to the control of electrical stimulation therapy. Background technique [0002] Medical devices can be external or implanted and can be used to deliver electrical stimulation therapy to a patient via various tissue sites to treat a variety of symptoms or conditions such as chronic pain, tremors, Parkinson's disease, epilepsy, urine Incontinence or fecal incontinence, sexual dysfunction, obesity or gastroparesis. The medical device may deliver electrical stimulation therapy via one or more leads that include electrodes located near target locations associated with the patient's brain, spinal cord, pelvic nerves, peripheral nerves, or gastrointestinal tract. Stimulation near the spinal cord, near the sacral nerve, in the brain, and near the peripheral nerves is commonly referred to as spinal cord stimulation (SCS), sacral neuromodulation (SNM), deep brain s...
