A method, system, and an apparatus are provided for providing multiple stimulation modes for a medical device, such as an implantable medical device. The method includes applying a first electrical signal to a nerve of a patient during a primary time period. The method further includes applying a second electrical signal to the nerve of the patient during a secondary time period in which the first electrical signal is not applied. The secondary electrical signal may provide a reduced level of stimulation that improves a therapeutic effect and/or reduces a side effect associated with the first electrical signal.

L'invention concerne un procédé, un système et un appareil fournissant de multiples modes de stimulation pour un dispositif médical, tel qu'un dispositif médical implantable. Le procédé consiste à appliquer un premier signal électrique au nerf d'un patient pendant une période primaire ; à appliquer un second signal électrique au nerf du patient pendant une période secondaire au cours de laquelle le premier signal électrique n'est pas appliqué. Le second signal électrique peut produire un niveau de stimulation réduit qui améliore un effet thérapeutique et/ou réduit un effet secondaire associé au premier signal électrique.
