Claim One:
1. A neural stimulation system, comprising: a stimulation output circuit configured to deliver neural stimulation pulses; a respiratory signal input configured to receive a respiratory signal indicative of respiratory cycles and respiratory parameters; a synchronization module coupled to the stimulation output circuit and the respiratory signal input, the synchronization module configured to synchronize the delivery of the neural stimulation pulses to the respiratory cycles and including: a respiratory fiducial point detector coupled to the respiratory signal input, the respiratory fiducial point detector configured to detect respiratory fiducial points in the respiratory signal; and a delay timer coupled to the respiratory fiducial point detector, the delay timer configured to time a delay interval starting with each of the detected respiratory fiducial points; and a stimulation delivery controller coupled to the delay timer and the stimulation output circuit, the stimulation delivery controller configured to cause the stimulation output circuit to deliver a burst of the neural stimulation pulses when the delay interval expires.
