Neural stimulation is provided according to a closed loop algorithm to treat sleep disordered breathing (SDB), including obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The closed loop algorithm is executed by a system comprising a processor (which can be within the neural stimulator). The closed loop algorithm includes monitoring physiological data (e.g., EMG data) recorded by a sensor implanted adjacent to an anterior lingual muscle; identifying a trigger within the physiological data, wherein the trigger is identified as a biomarker for a condition related to sleep (e.g., inspiration); and applying a rule-based classification (which can learn) to the trigger to determine whether one or more parameters of a stimulation should be altered based on the biomarker.
A system comprising:
A method of improving sleep disordered breathing (SDB) in a patient comprising:
The system of claim 21, wherein the titrating optimizes airway muscle tone.
