Anti-habituating sleep therapy for a closed loop neuromodulator
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system for providing anti-habituating sleep therapy, the system comprising:
- a closed loop neuromodulator configured to receive first activity information from a patient, to detect a first sleep disorder event using the first activity information, and to provide, in response to the first sleep disorder event, a first series of stimuli using a set of stimulation parameters;
wherein the first series of stimuli includes;
a first stimulus configured to not interrupt the first sleep disorder event; and
a second stimulus, following the first stimulus, the second stimulus having more energy than the first stimulus and configured to interrupt the first sleep disorder event; and
wherein the closed loop neuromodulator is configured to detect a habituation event and to adjust an anti-habituation stimulation parameter in response to the detected habituation event.

Abstract
This document discusses, among other things, a system and method for anti-habituating sleep therapy using a closed loop neuromodulator. A first sleep disorder event can be detected using first activity information, and a first series of stimuli can be provided, in response to the first sleep disorder event, using a set of stimulus parameters. A habituation event can be detected and anti-habituation stimulation parameter can be adjusted to avoid patient habituation to the stimuli.
