1. A method for programming an implantable medical device configured for stimulating neural tissue by means of at least one electrode, the method comprises the steps of:
performing, by means of the implantable medical device, an evoked compound action potential (eCAP) threshold search by stimulating the neural tissue with test stimulation pulses;
determining, based on the eCAP threshold search, an eCAP threshold amplitude and a coupling factor that is indicative of a coupling between the at least one electrode and the neural tissue; and
generating a first set of stimulation parameters having at least a stimulation amplitude that is determined in dependence on the eCAP threshold amplitude and the coupling factor.
