positioning a lead comprising an electrode, wherein the electrode is at a therapeutically effective distance from a target efferent nerve fiber; and
electrically stimulating through the electrode the target efferent nerve fiber to induce an action potential in the target efferent nerve fiber while avoiding generation of action potentials in a non-target nerve fiber, wherein the target efferent nerve fiber is neurologically upstream from a perceived point of pain, wherein the therapeutically effective distance is greater than 1 mm from the target efferent nerve fiber.
