Claim Text:
1. A system for managing pain in a patient, using an electrical waveform, comprising: an electrode device configured to be implanted into a patient and including a plurality of electrodes having at least a first electrode associated with a first area of the patient and a second electrode associated with a second area of the patient, wherein the first area has a first therapy range for a waveform parameter and the second area has a second therapy range for the waveform parameter; and an implantable device configured to be coupled to the electrode device, the implantable device including a waveform generator configured to generate a non-paresthesia-producing therapy signal, and a computer-operable medium operatively coupled to the waveform generator, the computer-operable medium being programmed to— direct the non-paresthesia-producing therapy signal to the electrode device with a frequency from 1.5 kHz to 100 kHz; change a level of a waveform parameter applied to the first electrode; and automatically set a level of the waveform parameter applied to the second electrode, based on a scaling factor relating the first therapy range to the second therapy range.
