Abstract:
1. A system comprising: a therapy module; and a processor configured to detect a voiding event of a patient and control the therapy module to deliver electrical stimulation to the patient at a first intensity level for a period of time in response to the detection of the voiding event, and immediately following the period of time, control the therapy module to increase intensity of the electrical stimulation from the first intensity level to a second intensity level before a subsequent voiding event of the patient by at least controlling the therapy module to deliver stimulation to the patient at a plurality of intermediate intensity levels between the first and second intensity levels prior to delivering stimulation to the patient at the second intensity level following the detection of the voiding event, wherein the first intensity level is selected to be an intensity of electrical stimulation applied to the patient that produces a delayed physiological response of the patient relative to the delivery of the electrical stimulation at the first intensity level, and the second intensity level is selected to be an intensity of electrical stimulation applied to the patient that produces the physiological response of the patient relative to the delivery of the electrical stimulation at the second intensity level in a shorter amount of time than the electrical stimulation at the first intensity level.
