Abstract
Methods and systems for providing electrical stimulation to a patient's spinal cord using electrode leads implanted in the patient's spinal column are described. Embodiments involve biphasic stimulation where during a first phase a first pole provides stimulation to a first location and during a second phase a second pole provides stimulation to a second location. The two phases may have the same or different amplitudes. The amplitudes of the two phases may be determined based on perception thresholds for stimulation at the two locations.
