A device for ameliorating sensory nerve pain in a patient in need thereof, the device comprising: an implanted electrode (50) and a waveform generator (10). The implanted electrode (50) contacts a trunk of a sensory peripheral nerve in the patient at a plurality of contact surfaces with the nerve trunk. The waveform generator (10) is operatively connected to the implanted electrode for generating a waveform at one of a voltage ranging from 4 Volt peak-to-peak (Vpp) to 20 Vpp, or a current ranging from 4 milli-Amp peak-to-peak (mApp) to 26 mApp.
