Abstract

See full text

A method, system, and an apparatus are provided for providing multiple stimulation modes for a medical device, such as an implantable medical device. The method includes applying a first electrical signal to a nerve of a patient during a primary time period. The method further includes applying a second electrical signal to the nerve of the patient during a secondary time period in which the first electrical signal is not applied. The secondary electrical signal may provide a reduced level of stimulation that improves a therapeutic effect and/or reduces a side effect associated with the first electrical signal.
