1. A medical system for treating incontinence comprising:
an implantable medical device (IMD) implantable proximate to a tibial nerve of a patient, the IMD comprising therapy delivery circuitry configured to provide electrical stimulation therapy proximate the tibial nerve of the patient for treating incontinence; and
processing circuitry configured to:
during an implant period, determine a set of stimulation parameters to control the therapy delivery circuitry,
during an induction period after the implant period, initiate electrical stimulation therapy according to the set of stimulation parameters,
during a first maintenance period, determine an adjustment to the set of stimulation parameters as first maintenance period stimulation parameters to reduce the electrical stimulation therapy from the induction period, wherein the therapy delivery circuitry provides the electrical stimulation therapy according to the first maintenance period stimulation parameters, and
during a second maintenance period, determine an adjustment to the set of stimulation parameters as second maintenance period stimulation parameters to reduce the electrical stimulation therapy from the first maintenance period, wherein the therapy delivery circuitry provides the electrical stimulation therapy according to the second maintenance period stimulation parameters.
