Claim Text:
1. A method of modulating a dorsal root ganglion of a patient comprising: advancing an electrode along a nerve root sleeve angulation of a dorsal root; positioning the electrode on or near a dorsal root ganglion associated with the dorsal root; providing electrical pulses to the electrode using a plurality of different pulse parameters to identify a stimulation program of multiple stimulation parameters that cause analgesia without resultant paresthesia, wherein the providing comprises selecting a pulse frequency less than 25 Hz, a pulse amplitude of less than 500 microamps, and a pulse width of less than 120 microseconds; and activating a pulse generator to provide electrical pulses to the patient using the electrode according to the identified stimulation program of multiple stimulation parameters to treat pain of the patient with analgesia and without resultant paresthesia.
