1. A method, comprising:

  • delivering vagus nerve stimulation in a recurring succession of stimulation cycles, wherein the vagus nerve stimulation is provided for a portion of each cycle and not provided for another portion each stimulation cycle;

    sensing a physiological parameter within the portion of each cycle when the stimulation is generated and within another portion of each cycle when the stimulation is not generated;

    determining a change in the sensed physiological parameter, wherein the change reflects a difference in the sensed physiological parameter between the portions of a stimulation cycle;

    comparing the change to a target change to provide a comparison result; and

    adjusting the vagus nerve stimulation based on the comparison result.
