1. An electrical stimulation lead, comprising:
- a lead body having a distal end portion, a proximal end portion, and a longitudinal length;
a plurality of electrodes disposed along the distal end portion of the lead body;
a plurality of terminals disposed along the proximal end portion of the lead body;
a plurality of conductors electrically coupling the plurality of terminals to the plurality of electrodes; and
a preventer permanently extending proximally from the proximal end portion of the lead body, wherein the preventer has a diameter smaller than a diameter of the lead body and has a polymer jacket forming an entire outer surface of the preventer.

Abstract
A trial electrical stimulation lead includes a lead body having a distal end portion, a proximal end portion, and a longitudinal length; electrodes disposed along the distal end portion of the lead body; terminals disposed along the proximal end portion of the lead body; conductors electrically coupling the terminals to the electrodes; and a preventer extending proximally from the proximal end portion of the lead body. The preventer has a diameter smaller than a diameter of the lead body. The preventer prevents coupling of the trial electrical stimulation lead to an implantable control module, but permits coupling to an external trial stimulation system.
