Summary:A system for treating disordered breathing comprising: a. an electrical pulse generator capable of providing electrical stimulation signals to a phrenic nerve or diaphragm of a patient at a predetermined signal frequency; b. a respiration sensor capable of sensing a signal representative of the patient's respiration; c. a frequency comparator that compares the spectral power of the frequency distribution of sensed respiration signals over a stimulation frequency band to the spectral power of sensed respiration signals over a respiratory frequency band; and d. power adjusting circuitry that adjusts the power of the electrical stimulation signals provided by the electrical pulse generation based on the comparison of the spectral power values.
