1. A method for electrical stimulation, comprising:
grouping, into a plurality of groups, volumes of activation (VOAs) associated with stimulations of a patient population according to clinical effects;
for at least one of the groups, identifying a biological circuit element over which a threshold number of the VOAs overlie and produce a therapeutic effect;
receiving a target stimulation site associated with a biological circuit containing the biological circuit element, wherein the target stimulation site is different from a site of an implanted lead; and
based on the identification of the biological circuit element, identifying and outputting stimulation programming parameters to stimulate the target stimulation site from the site of the implanted lead along the biologic circuit containing the biological circuit element.
