Abstract
One example of an implantable medical device includes an output signal driver, a first electrode, a second electrode, and a controller. The output signal driver is configured to generate stimulation pulses to stimulate a nerve within a patient. The first electrode is coupled to the output signal driver. The second electrode is coupled to the output signal driver. The controller is configured to control the output signal driver to selectively apply between the first electrode and the second electrode a first pulse train and a second pulse train interleaved with the first pulse train.
