1. An apparatus for treating a neural condition of a patient, comprising:

  • an implantable stimulation lead configured to be positioned to apply electrical stimulation to neural tissue of the patient'"'"'s nervous system, the implantable stimulation lead configured to be implanted in the patient; and

    an implantable signal generator for generating electrical pulses, the implantable signal generator coupled to the implantable stimulation lead, wherein the implantable signal generator comprises a controller;

    wherein the controller is configured to direct an application of electrical stimulation to the patient in a manner such that the stimulation has a burst frequency and an intra-burst frequency greater than the burst frequency, wherein the controller modifies a frequency parameter of the burst stimulation in response to administration of a motor-disorder drug by the patient.
