1. A method of stimulating nerve tissue of a patient using an implantable pulse generator, the method comprising:

  • generating, by the implantable pulse generator, a burst stimulus that comprises a plurality of groups of spike pulses, wherein the burst stimulus is substantially quiescent between the plurality of groups, wherein each spike within each group is separated by a maximum inter-spike interval and each group of spikes is separated by a minimum inter-group interval, wherein the maximum inter-spike interval is 5 milliseconds and the minimum inter-group interval is 20 milliseconds;

    providing the burst stimulus from the implantable pulse generator to a medical lead; and

    applying the burst stimulus to nerve tissue of the patient via one or several electrodes of the medical lead.
