Neural stimulation with transient response between doses

A method comprising:

• delivering doses of neural stimulation therapy, wherein delivering each of the doses includes delivering a pulse train of more than one neural stimulation pulse, wherein successively delivered doses are separated by a time when neural stimulation is not delivered;
• sensing transient evoked responses in nerve traffic between the doses of neural stimulation therapy during the time when neural stimulation is not delivered;
• and
• performing a at least one action using the sensed transient evoked responses, the at least one action including:
• changing the doses of the neural stimulation therapy based on the sensed transient evoked responses in the nerve traffic, or
• recording data corresponding to the sensed transient evoked responses in the nerve traffic.

A non-transitory machine-readable medium including instructions, which when executed by a machine, cause the machine to:

• deliver doses of neural stimulation therapy, wherein each of the doses includes a pulse train of more than one neural stimulation pulse, wherein successively delivered doses are separated by a time when neural stimulation is not delivered;
• sense transient evoked responses in nerve traffic between the doses of neural stimulation therapy during the time when neural stimulation is not delivered;
• and
• perform at least one action using the sensed transient evoked responses, the at least one action including:
• change the doses of the neural stimulation therapy based on the sensed transient evoked responses in the nerve traffic, or
• record data corresponding to the sensed transient evoked responses in the nerve traffic.

A system, comprising:

• a neural stimulator;
• a controller configured to cooperate with the neural stimulator to deliver doses of neural stimulation therapy, wherein each of the doses includes a pulse train of more than one neural stimulation pulse, wherein successively delivered doses are separated by a time when neural stimulation is not delivered;
• and
• a sensor configured to sense transient evoked responses in nerve traffic between the doses of neural stimulation therapy during the time when neural stimulation is not delivered,
• wherein the controller is configured to perform at least one action using the sensed transient evoked responses, the at least one action including:
• change the doses of the neural stimulation therapy based on the sensed transient evoked responses in the nerve traffic, or
• record data corresponding to the sensed transient evoked responses in the nerve traffic.
