Electrode Systems and Related Methods for Providing Therapeutic Differential Tissue Stimulation. According to one aspect, an electrode system for providing therapeutic differential tissue stimulation includes an electrode body. A plurality of electrode segments are positioned along the electrode body. The electrode segments are predetermined shapes and sizes that produce a predetermined electrical field for stimulating predetermined portions of tissue, and each of the electrode segments includes an outer surface which is exposed from the electrode body for coupling to tissue. A lead is connected to each of the electrode segments for use in applying a common electrical signal to the electrode segments.
