摘要：
Various embodiments of an implantable system for delivering therapy comprise at least one of a heat sink or source to either reduce or increase temperature of excitable tissue, a pulse generator and at least one stimulation electrode to deliver electrical stimulation to excitable tissue, a memory and a controller. The memory has instructions for performing at least one stimulation routine and at least one thermal routine, and further has integration instructions for integrating the thermal routine(s) with the stimulation routine(s). The controller is configured to operate on the instructions to perform the stimulation routine(s) using the pulse generator and the at least one stimulation electrode, to perform the thermal routine(s) using the heat sink or the heat source, and to operate on the integration instructions to integrate thermal routine(s) with the stimulation routine(s).
