1. A method for configuration of an implantable neurostimulation device comprising:

  • recording one or more physiological parameters using a sensing lead and a sensing electrode of the implantable neurostimulation device;

    setting, by a control circuit of the implantable neurostimulation device, a first stimulation configuration with at least one of a first energy, a first pulse amplitude, or a first number of pulses;

    determining, by the control circuit, if conditions of stability of a patient'"'"'s condition are met, and if so, delivering the first stimulation to a nerve by a stimulation lead; and

    repeating delivery of the first stimulation while testing a plurality of configurations of a set of stimulation electrodes;

    wherein testing the plurality of configurations of the set of stimulation electrodes comprises;

    storing the measured physiological parameters of each of the plurality of configurations;

    changing, by the control circuit, the configuration of the set of stimulation electrodes; and

    determining a selected configuration that produces a best calculated effect on the recorded one or more physiological parameters.
