1. A method of providing electrical neurostimulation therapy to a cranial nerve of a patient comprising:

  • generating a time series of temperature data representative of the body temperature of the patient;

    determining a time rate of change of body temperature for the patient over at least one predetermined time period;

    comparing the time rate of change of the patient'"'"'s temperature with a threshold time rate of change of temperature; and

    providing an electrical neurostimulation therapy to a cranial nerve of the patient if the time rate of change of the patient'"'"'s body temperature exceeds said threshold time rate of change.
