Method and system for identifying a location for nerve stimulation

A method comprising:

• identifying a target therapy stimulation site along a length of a nerve within a patient's body via:
• determining, separately for each potential therapy stimulation site among a plurality of potential therapy stimulation sites along a length of a nerve, a neuromuscular response of muscles produced upon applying a stimulation signal via a stimulation test tool at the respective potential therapy stimulation sites, the stimulation test tool being separate from, and independent of, an implantable therapy stimulation electrode;
• determining, based on the identified target therapy stimulation site, an access pathway to deliver the implantable therapy stimulation electrode to the identified target therapy stimulation therapy site, wherein the determining includes visualizing in real-time, via an image-based graphical user interface, at least one internal image of the patient's body;
• and
• delivering, via the determined access pathway, the implantable therapy stimulation electrode to the identified target therapy stimulation site.
