advancing the therapy deliver device in the vessel to a point adjacent a target site of the autonomic nervous system;
activating the therapy delivery device to deliver a therapy signal to the target site of the autonomic nervous system;
sensing a bodily activity associated with the gastrointestinal condition and generating a sensor signal; and
activating the therapy delivery device to adjust application of the therapy signal to the target site of the autonomic nervous system in response to the sensor signal to treat the gastrointestinal condition.
