1. A method of treating pain in a patient, comprising:
directing an electrical signal having a first parameter value to the patient's spinal cord region, via an implanted signal delivery element, wherein the electrical signal induces paresthesia in the patient;
measuring a neural response evoked by the electrical signal;
based at least in part on the neural response, adjusting the first parameter value to a second parameter value, wherein the second parameter value is different than the first parameter value; and
iteratively repeating the processes of directing, measuring, and adjusting until the electrical signal induces a smoother and/or more pleasant sensation in the patient.
