Abstract:
1. A system, comprising: a neural stimulation delivery system configured to deliver a neural stimulation signal; a sensor configured to sense a parameter to provide a signal for use in detecting a side effect; a side effect detector configured to receive the signal from the sensor, to characterize the signal as a detected side effect, and to provide a detected side effect signal; a controller configured to control the neural stimulation delivery system to provide a neural stimulation therapy, receive the detected side effect signal from the side effect detector determine whether the neural stimulation therapy caused the detected side effect, and automatically adjust the neural stimulation therapy if it is determined that the delivered neural stimulation therapy caused the detected side effect , wherein the side effect is selected from the group of side effects consisting of: a voice-related side effect, a respiratory-related side effect and a cardiac output side effect.
