1. A system, comprising:

  • a neural stimulation delivery system configured to deliver a neural stimulation signal for use in delivering a neural stimulation therapy;

    a cough sensor configured to sense a parameter to provide a signal for use in detecting a cough;

    a cough detector configured to receive the signal from the cough sensor, to characterize the signal as a detected cough, and to provide a detected cough signal;

    a controller configured to control the neural stimulation delivery system, receive the detected cough signal from the cough detector, determine whether the detected cough is attributable to delivered neural stimulation therapy, and automatically titrate the neural stimulation therapy to abate the cough.
