1. An electrical stimulation system comprising:
a lead;
at least one electrode insertable into a patient, the at least one electrode operatively coupled with the lead; and
an electrical stimulator operatively coupled with the lead, wherein the electrical stimulator delivers electrical stimulation through the at least one-electrode to at least one of an axillary nerve or a femoral nerve to produce a stimulus evoked paresthesia and a muscle contraction providing physiologic activation of afferent input to a central nervous system of the patient to treat pain by sustaining functional reorganization of maladaptive neuroplastic changes in a central nervous system of a patient.
