摘要：
A method of nerve stimulation produces therapeutic effects in an organ not directly innervated by the electrically stimulated nerve. The method includes identifying an electrical stimulation reaction threshold of at least one organ directly innervated by a parasympathetic nerve of a subject, identifying a reaction threshold of at least one tissue that is not directly innervated by the parasympathetic nerve of the subject after the parasympathetic nerve is electrically stimulated, and electrically stimulating the parasympathetic nerve with an electrical stimulation signal that is below the identified reaction threshold for the at least one directly innervated organ, but above a reaction threshold for the at least one tissue or organ that is not directly innervated by the parasympathetic nerve of the subject.
