ABSTRACT:
An exemplary method includes implementing a nerve stimulation therapy that includes delivering stimulation energy to a target nerve, periodically acquiring compound action potentials responsive to the delivered stimulation energy and assessing condition of the target nerve based at least in part on the periodically acquired compound action potentials. Various other exemplary methods, devices, systems, etc., are also disclosed.
