Abstract
A tissue stimulation system includes an electrode assembly having at least three electrodes spaced to be stimulated in a patient. A programmable stimulator is connected to and provides stimulation pulses to the electrode assembly. A programming data in the stimulator defines, for each of the at least three electrodes, individual stimulation pulses of varying polarity and at least one of amplitude, frequency, pulse width and pulse shape.
