Systems and methods are described for adjusting the operation of implantable stimulation devices used to provide medical treatment. Several hierarchical algorithms are described which operate according to conditional strategies. In one such strategy semi-automatic therapy adjustment occurs by automatically issuing patient alert messages when selected operations are to occur, and using a patient's response to the alert message in order to adjust therapy, as long as this is provided within a selected time limit. Another strategy only implements complex operations when these are indicated by prior operations. The invention serves to reduce the risk of adaptation by the patient and the provision of therapy operations that are either not desired or warranted, in order to decrease the depletion of battery power and/or drug reserves and increase patient benefit. Methods are also described for resolving data conflicts which may occur when adaptively delivery therapy.
