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 19):
The method of  claim 15 , wherein at least one lead electrically connects the electrodes to the neurostimulator, and the electrodes are configured in an electrode arrangement that includes at least four columns of electrodes, and wherein stimulating the neural tissue on the first lateral side includes using at least a first and second of the at least four columns of electrodes to stimulate the neural tissue on the first lateral side, and stimulating the neural tissue on the second lateral side includes using at least a third and fourth of the at least four columns of electrodes to stimulate the neural tissue on the second lateral side.
