1. A method for reducing or eliminating pain in a patient, without causing paresthesia in the patient, the method comprising:

  • programming a computer-readable medium of an implanted signal generator to;

    generate a non-paresthesia-producing therapy signal, wherein at least a portion of the therapy signal is at a frequency of from 500 Hz to 1.2 kHz, with a pulse width in a pulse width range from 10 microseconds to 50 microseconds, and a current amplitude in a current amplitude range from 0.5 mA to 20 mA; and

    transmit the therapy signal to the dorsal column of the patient'"'"'s spinal cord via a signal delivery device implanted in the patient'"'"'s epidural space and electrically coupled to the implanted signal generator.
