1. A method for limiting the programming of a patient's stimulator device, the method comprising:
providing at an external device information indicative of a plurality of subsets of stimulation parameters previously determined for the patient, wherein the stimulation parameters in the subsets provide sub-perception stimulation for the patient, wherein each subset corresponds with one of a plurality of stimulation modes; and
providing a Graphical User Interface (GUI) on the external device to allow the patient to select from the plurality of stimulation modes, wherein selection of one of the stimulation modes limits programming the stimulator device to stimulation parameters that are within the corresponding subset of stimulation parameters.
