1. A method of treating a chronic medical condition in a patient, comprising:

  • determining a time of beat sequence of the patient'"'"'s heart;

    determining a regulatory system parameter based on said time of beat sequence, wherein said parameter is indicative of a stress level of the patient'"'"'s regulatory adaptation systems;

    comparing said determined regulatory system parameter with a threshold regulatory system parameter value; and

    applying an electrical signal to a neural structure of the patient to treat the chronic medical condition if said determined regulatory system parameter exceeds said threshold regulatory system parameter value.
