Abstract:
The disclosure describes devices and systems for determining alternative electrode combinations and power consumption for these alternative electrode combinations. In one example, a method includes identifying a set of one or more electrodes configured to deliver electrical stimulation therapy via a lead, determining, based on the set of one or more electrodes, one or more alternative electrode combinations for delivering electrical stimulation therapy, calculating, for each of the one or more alternative electrode combinations, a respective field similarity score with respect to the set of one or more electrodes, and outputting a representation of at least one of the one or more alternative electrode combinations for selection in at least partially defining electrical stimulation therapy, the representation comprising an indication of at least one of the respective power consumption values or the respective field similarity scores.
