1. A method for treating a patient suffering from chronic neuropathic pain, the method comprising: implanting at least one stimulation lead in an epidural space of the patient, each stimulation lead comprising a plurality of electrodes disposed along a distal portion of the stimulation lead, wherein the at least one stimulation lead is implanted with at least three of the electrodes disposed lateral of a midline of a spinal cord of the patient in a selected single dorsal-lateral quadrant of the epidural space and adjacent a dorsolateral funiculus of the patient; and applying electrical stimulation energy to the dorsolateral funiculus of the patient, while applying electrical suppression energy to nerve root fibers of the patient, using the at least three electrodes to treat, the chronic neuropathic pain.
