Claim One:
1. An implantable neural stimulator for implantation in a patient, comprising: controller circuitry; neural stimulation output circuitry configured to deliver neural stimulation, wherein the controller circuitry is configured to control an intensity of the neural stimulation delivered by the neural stimulation output circuitry; an input configured to receive a patient-controlled trigger, wherein the controller circuitry is configured to detect the patient-controlled trigger; a memory with instructions operable on by the controller circuitry, wherein the instructions include: instructions for delivering neural stimulation using the neural stimulation output circuitry; instructions for implementing an up-titration routine to automatically increase the intensity of the neural stimulation from a lower intensity level to a higher intensity level; and instructions for automatically decreasing the intensity of the neural stimulation from the higher intensity level to the lower intensity level in response to receiving the patient-controlled trigger, wherein the automatically increased intensity is maintained if the trigger from the patient is not received, wherein the neural stimulator is configured to detect a specific condition, and the neural stimulator is configured to allow the up-titration routine, implemented by the controller circuitry operating on the instructions in the memory, to increase the intensity only when the specific condition is detected.
