1. A method comprising:
receiving, by one or more processors, information indicative of one or more physiological parameters of a patient;
generating, by the one or more processors, an event marker based on determining an occurrence of a patient event, wherein the patient event comprises an occurrence of a symptom of a patient condition;
storing, by the one or more processors and in response to generating the event marker, the information indicative of the one or more physiological parameters in memory; and
adjusting, by the one or more processors, electrical stimulation therapy delivered by a medical device to the patient, wherein the medical device delivers electrical stimulation therapy according to a therapy cycle comprising an on-cycle during which electrical stimulation therapy is delivered to the patient and an off-cycle during which electrical stimulation therapy is not delivered to the patient, and wherein adjusting the electrical stimulation therapy comprises:
determining, by the one or more processors, whether the medical device is in the off-cycle or the on-cycle of the therapy cycle implemented by the medical device at a time based on the generation of the event marker;
initiating, by the one or more processors and in response to the event marker, the on-cycle if the medical device is in the off-cycle at the time, thereby shortening a duration of the off-cycle of the therapy cycle implemented by the medical device at the time; and
restarting, by the one or more processors and in response to the event marker, the on-cycle if the medical device is in the on-cycle at the time, thereby elongating a duration of the on-cycle of the therapy cycle implemented by the medical device at the time.
