1. A method of operating an implantable medical device (IMD) comprising a neurostimulator coupled to an electrode assembly, said method comprising:

  • initiating a plurality of titration sessions, each titration session separated from an adjacent titration session by an acclimation interval, wherein the titration sessions comprise activating the IMD to deliver a stimulation signal of gradually increasing intensity until the patient exceeds a side effect tolerance zone boundary;

    analyzing an outcome measure of the plurality of titration sessions, wherein the outcome measure comprises a target increase in stimulation intensity or a target increase in output current; and

    modifying one or more stimulation parameters based on the analyzed outcome measure.
