1. A method for providing an electrical neurostimulation therapy to a patient using an implantable medical device (IMD), comprising:

  • generating a first electrical signal comprising a first ramping portion comprising a first parameter selected from the group consisting of an amplitude, a rate of change of said amplitude, a time period of a rate of change of said amplitude, a pulse width, a rate of change of said pulse width, a time period of a rate of change of said pulse width, a frequency, a rate of change of said frequency, a time period of a rate of change of said frequency, and a duration of a time period of said ramping portion, said first parameter having a first value;

    applying said first electrical signal to a target location of the patient'"'"'s body;

    generating a second electrical signal comprising a second ramping portion comprising said first parameter having a second value different from said first value; and

    applying said second electrical signal to a target location of the patient'"'"'s body.
