Abstract

See full text

Systems and methods are provided for delivering neurostimulation therapies to patients. Stimulation from an implantable medical device (IMD) may be suspended in response to detecting a patient discomfort event, such as a cough, throat irritation, or voice alteration. The suspension period may be based on at least one of a severity level of the patient discomfort event and a patient physical state, such as being asleep or lying down. Detection of a patient discomfort event may be calibrated.
