Claim:
1. An implantable device, comprising: a neural stimulator configured to deliver a programmed intermittent neural stimulation therapy for an extended therapy application, the programmed intermittent neural stimulation therapy including a programmed series of stimulation ON times and stimulation OFF times, each programmed stimulation ON time for the programmed intermittent neural stimulation therapy including a programmed neural stimulation burst of neural stimulation pulses, the neural stimulator including: a monitor to monitor at least one physiologic response during stimulation ON times and during stimulation OFF times of the programmed intermittent neural stimulation therapy; and a controller operably connected to the monitor and configured to detect a change for the at least one physiologic response between the stimulation ON and stimulation OFF times and provide a therapy control signal to the modulator to achieve a desired change for the at least one physiologic response between the stimulation ON and the stimulation OFF times of the programmed intermittent neural stimulation therapy for the extended therapy application.
