1. A system comprising:
at least one electrode adapted to be placed on a nerve in a subject;
an implantable neuroregulator comprising a rechargeable battery, and microprocessor configured to deliver an electrical signal during an on time that comprises more than one microsecond cycle to form a millisecond active phase, and applying more than one millisecond active phase during the on time, wherein each millisecond active phase is separated by a millisecond inactive phase during the on time, wherein the microsecond cycle comprises at least one period, each period comprising a charge recharge phase and at least one pulse delay, each period having a frequency of at least 1000 Hz; and a microsecond inactive phase.
