1. An implantable neurostimulation system for generating burst waveforms, the neurostimulation system comprising:
an implantable stimulation lead comprising a plurality of contacts; and
an implantable pulse generator communicatively coupled to the stimulation lead and configured to:
generate a waveform including a burst that includes a leading anodic pulse followed by alternating square wave cathodic pulses and anodic pulses, each square wave cathodic pulse in the burst having a greater amplitude than the previous cathodic square wave pulse.
