摘要：
A system and method for simultaneous burst and tonic stimulation of nerve tissue is provided. The system and method includes providing a lead with at least one stimulation electrode configured to be implanted at a target position proximate to nerve tissue of interest. The system and method further includes coupling the lead to an implantable pulse generator (IPG). The IPG generates current pulses that are delivered through blocking capacitors to the stimulation electrodes. The system and method further provides programming the IPG to deliver a first series of current pulses configured as a tonic stimulation waveform to the stimulation electrodes and to deliver a second series of current pulses configured as a burst stimulation waveform to the stimulation electrodes. The tonic and burst stimulation waveforms each include at least two current pulses with different amplitude polarities.
