1. A system comprising:
a memory configured to store a plurality of zones, each zone of the plurality of zones defining a range of values for one or more stimulation parameters that at least partially define electrical stimulation deliverable to a patient; and
processing circuitry configured to:
control a medical device to deliver a first electrical stimulation according to a first zone of the plurality of zones that defines a first range of values for a first stimulation parameter of the one or more stimulation parameters;
receive an input representative of an efficacy of the first electrical stimulation delivered to the patient according to the first zone;
determine that efficacy of the first electrical stimulation is insufficient based on the input representative of the efficacy;
responsive to determining that the efficacy of the first electrical stimulation is insufficient, select a second zone of the plurality of zones that define a second range of values for the first stimulation parameter, the second range being different than the first range; and
control the medical device to deliver a second electrical stimulation according to the second zone that defines the second range of values for the first stimulation parameter.
