1. A method of treating a patient having sensation loss, via spinal cord stimulation, comprising:
in response to the patient having sensation loss, programming a signal generator to deliver a non-paresthesia producing electrical signal having a frequency in a frequency range of 5 kHz to 16 kHz to the patient's spinal cord via at least one implanted signal delivery element,
wherein the non-paresthesia producing electrical signal at least partially restores the sensation that was lost, and wherein the sensation was lost in association with diabetic neuropathy.
