Disclosed herein are devices, systems, and methods for treating a medical condition through a coordinated stimulation of two or more target nerves. In some embodiments, the stimulation comprises electrical stimulation delivered to a patient. In some embodiments, the coordinated stimulation comprises the two or more target nerves being stimulated in parallel, in series, a combination thereof, or any coordinated temporal sequence. In some embodiments, the stimulation delivery is contingent on an electrode placement confirmation via one or more electrode monitors. In some embodiments, the delivered electrical stimulation comprises one or more stimulation parameters configured to be adjusted based on feedback from the patient. In some embodiments, the one or more stimulation parameters are automatically randomized over a normal distribution.
