1. A method comprising the steps of:
- inserting a lead percutaneously into a human;
placing an electrode in subepidermal tissue of the human, the electrode operatively coupled with the lead; and
delivering electrical stimulation through the electrode,wherein, after the delivering step, a level of pain perceived by the human, wherein the pain was caused by or occurring secondarily to subacromial impingement syndrome, is reduced.

Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for treating chronic pain occurring secondarily to subacromial impingement syndrome in a human body. A system is provided to deliver percutaneous electrical stimulation through at least one electrode to neurological motor points of the posterior and middle deltoid muscles to mediate such pain. One-time, continued and/or periodic dosing of treatment methods according to the present invention may result in a change to central nervous system maladaptive neuroplasticity.
