1. A spinal cord modulation system for reducing or eliminating pain in a patient, the system comprising:

  • a signal generator configured to generate a non-paresthesia-producing therapy signal in accordance with a therapy signal parameter, wherein the therapy signal parameter includes at least a portion of the therapy signal being set at a frequency in a frequency range from 1.5 kHz to 100 kHz;

    an implantable signal delivery device electrically coupled to the signal generator and configured to deliver the therapy signal to the patient'"'"'s spinal cord region; and

    a programmer in communication with the signal generator and having instructions that, when executed, program the signal generator to generate the therapy signal without the use of paresthesia mapping to set an amplitude of the therapy signal.
