1. A method of providing therapy to a patient using at least one electrode implanted within an epidural space in the patient, comprising:

  • modulating neural elements within a dorsal horn without causing the patient to perceive paresthesia, wherein modulating the neural elements within the dorsal horn includes delivering pulsed electrical current from the at least one electrode within the epidural space into a spinal cord tissue of the patient, wherein the pulsed electrical current has a defined pulse width less than 100 μ

    s and a defined pulse rate equal to or less than 500 Hz.
