1. A system for providing a patient with pain management, the system comprising:
a sleep monitoring circuit configured to receive one or more sleep signals, to generate one or more sleep parameters using the one or more sleep signals, and to determine sleep stages of the patient using the one or more sleep parameters;
a pain monitoring circuit configured to receive one or more pain signals and to determine a measure associated with the pain of the patient using the one or more pain signals and each stage of the determined sleep stages, the measure associated with the pain of the patient being a function of the one or more pain parameters and the each stage;
a pain relief device configured to deliver one or more pain relief therapies; and
a control circuit configured to determine therapy parameters for each stage of the determined sleep stages using the measure associated with the pain of the patient determined for that stage and to control the delivery of the one or more pain relief therapies during each stage of the determined sleep stages using the therapy parameters determined for that stage.
