Using Evoked Potentials for Brain Stimulation Therapies

Methods and systems for providing stimulation to a patient's brain using one or more electrode leads implanted in the patient's brain are described. The methods and systems help a clinician determine locations upon the lead where stimulation is expected to provide the best therapeutic benefit and the least side effects. Different locations upon the lead are used to provide stimulation and for each stimulation location evoked potentials are recorded. The evoked potentials are associated with likely beneficial therapeutic stimulation. Signals indicative of unwanted motor activity in the patient are also recorded for each of the stimulation locations. The recorded evoked potential signals and motor signals are used to determine stimulation locations that provide therapeutic benefit with minimal side effects. They can also be used to determine therapeutic windows for the potential stimulation locations.
