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 2):
A neurostimulation system for use with electrodes to provide a therapy to a patient, the neurostimulation system comprising:\n stimulation output circuitry operably connected to electrodes; and a controller operably connected to the stimulation output circuitry to stimulate neural tissue on a first lateral side of a midline of spinal cord tissue and stimulate neural tissue on a second lateral side of the midline of the spinal cord tissue without targeting stimulation of neural tissue along the midline of the spinal cord tissue.
