Attorney, Agent or FirmInternational ClassA61N 001/02AbstractA computer based system and methods for use with known neuromodulation systems to assist in the performance of pre-, intra- and post-operative procedures relating to the determination and optimization of a patient's therapeutic regimen. The system can use a computer database of information in connection with the pain map of an individual patient to aid the physician in making more accurate decisions regarding waveform and electrode configuration definition, as well as multi-electrode lead placement. The system can record and process patient responses to test stimulation patterns during the operation of placing the electrodes, so as to give the physician real-time information that can be used to effectively position the multi-electrode leads within the patient's body. The system also provides computer assisted post-operative presentation and assessment of stimulation settings, which utilizes, at least in one mode of operation, an iterative, systematic approach to determining one or more optimum stimulation settings.Other References
