ABSTRACT:
An implantable neural stimulation device and method treats peripheral vascular disease of a patient. The device includes a pulse generator that provides stimulation pulses and an implantable lead that applies the stimulation pulses to neural tissue. An activity sensor senses activity level of the patient and a processor, responsive to the activity sensor, controls the provision of the stimulation pulses by the pulse generator. The processor causes the pulse generator to provide stimulation therapy any time the patient is active or when the patient is at rest. The processor further provides long term activity monitoring and closed loop control of neural tissue stimulation levels to adapt the stimulation therapy to changes in the patient's condition.
