Claim One:
1. A method for delivering a unidirectional afferent nerve stimulation treatment, comprising: delivering a test neural stimulation, wherein delivering the test neural stimulation includes stimulating a target nerve to elicit nerve traffic in an efferent direction to elicit a measurable physiologic effect; monitoring the measurable physiologic effect to the test neural stimulation to determine if the test neural stimulation elicits a desired physiologic response for the test neural stimulation; titrating an intensity of the test neural stimulation using the measurable physiologic effect, wherein titrating includes using the measurable physiologic effect to adjust at least one neural stimulation parameter to provide titrated stimulation parameters for the test neural stimulation that provide the desired physiologic response; determining at least one treatment parameter for a unidirectional afferent nerve stimulation using the titrated stimulation parameters for the test neural stimulation; and delivering the unidirectional afferent nerve stimulation for the treatment using the at least one treatment parameter, wherein delivering the unidirectional afferent nerve stimulation includes delivering nerve stimulation to the target nerve to elicit unidirectional nerve traffic in an afferent direction, and wherein the unidirectional afferent nerve stimulation does not elicit the measurable physiologic effect elicited by the test neural stimulation.
