Abstract:
A neurostimulation paddle lead, method of neurostimulation, and neurostimulation system are provided. The neurostimulation paddle lead carries a plurality of electrodes comprising at least four columns of electrodes having a spacing between two inner electrode columns less than a spacing between the inner electrode columns and adjacent outer electrode columns. The inner electrode columns may also be longitudinally offset from the outer electrode columns. The methods and neurostimulation systems steer current between the electrodes to modify a medial-lateral electrical field created adjacent spinal cord tissue.

Claim (Index 14):
The non-transitory machine-readable medium of  claim 13 , wherein the instructions include instructions, which when executed by the neurostimulator, cause the neurostimulator to configure electrodes within the second and third columns as cathodes and configure electrodes within the first and fourth columns as anodes, wherein the second and third columns are inner columns and the first and fourth columns are outer columns that flank the inner columns.
