1. A neurostimulation system for treating a patient with a medical condition comprising:

  • a stimulus generator to generate an electrical biasing signal for at least a target portion of a neural structure of a patient, said electrical biasing signal comprising a pulsed electrical signal defined by at least one parameter selected from the group consisting of a voltage magnitude, a current magnitude, a pulse width, a pulse period, an on-time and an off-time, and wherein at least one of said voltage magnitude, said current magnitude, said pulse width, said pulse period, said on-time and said off-time comprises a random value that varies within a defined range;

    at least one electrode coupled to said stimulus generator and to a neural structure of the patient; and

    a controller operatively coupled to said stimulus generator, said controller being adapted to apply said electrical biasing signal to said neural structure to bias an intrinsic neural signal on the neural structure.
