The present invention relates to a system (10) for planning and/or providing neurostimulation for a patient, comprising: - a pathological spinal cord map storage module (48) for storing at least one pathological spinal cord map (49) describing the activation of the spinal cord of a patient, - a healthy spinal cord map storage module (50) for storing at least one reference map (51) describing physiological activation of the spinal cord of at least one healthy subject, - an analysis module (42) configured and arranged such that the pathological spinal cord map and the reference map can be compared and/or analyzed automatically such that a deviation map is created, the deviation map describing the difference between the pathological spinal cord map and the reference map, and a compensation module (52) which is configured and arranged to calculate on the basis of the deviation map a neurostimulation protocol for compensating the activation. Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for planning and/or providing neurostimulation for a patient.
