Abstract

Multi-frequency neural treatments and associated systems and methods are disclosed. A method in accordance with a particular embodiment includes at least reducing patient pain by applying a first electrical signal to a first target location of the patient'"'"'s spinal cord region at a frequency in a first frequency range of up to about 1,500 Hz, and applying a second electrical signal to a second target location of the patient'"'"'s spinal cord region at a frequency in a second frequency range of from about 2,500 Hz to about 100,000 Hz.

Claims

1. A method for treating patient pain, comprising:

at least reducing patient pain by;

applying a first electrical signal to a first target location of the patient'"'"'s spinal cord region at a frequency in a first frequency range of up to about 1,500 Hz; and

applying a second electrical signal to a second target location of the patient'"'"'s spinal cord region at a frequency in a second frequency range of from about 2,500 Hz to about 100,000 Hz.
