1. A method of treating a non-neuropathic condition, the method comprising:
implanting an electrical stimulation lead in an epidural space of a patient near a dorsolateral funiculus of the patient, the electrical stimulation lead comprising a plurality of stimulation electrodes, wherein the electrical stimulation lead is implanted with at least three of the stimulation 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 the dorsolateral funiculus of the patient; and applying electrical stimulation energy through one or more of the at least three of the stimulation electrodes of the electrical stimulation lead to the dorsolateral funiculus to treat the non-neuropathic condition.
