1. A method of generating an electric filed inside a patient, the method comprising:

  • providing at least a first electrode and a second electrode on a common implantable substrate, wherein each of the first and second electrodes has a respective proximal end and a respective distal end, wherein the proximal end of the first electrode is positioned closer to the distal end of the second electrode than to the proximal end of the second electrode, wherein the proximal end of the second electrode is positioned closer to the distal end of the first electrode than to the proximal end of the first electrode;

    implanting the implantable substrate inside the patient; and

    applying electrical energy across the first and second electrodes to cause electrical current to flow simultaneously through the first and second electrodes preferentially from the proximal end of one electrode to the distal end of the other electrode.
