Summary:Methods for electrically stimulating body tissues to improve function or reduce symptoms provide an electrical stimulation system having two or more electrodes that are capable of being switched independently from a hyperpolarizing (depolarizing) state to a hypopolarizing state. Multiple combinations of hyperpolarizing electrodes and hypopolarizing electrodes are created by polarity switching to determine a polarity configuration having the best performance as determined by symptom reporting and clinical diagnostic tests. Polarity switching is triggered manually or is programmed to be switched automatically. Determining the configuration providing electrical stimulation resulting in the greatest benefit allows the system to be operated with one or more electrodes in a hypopolarizing state, thereby reducing energy requirements, tissue tolerance, and tissue fatigue. 用于电刺激的身体组织以改善功能或减轻症状的方法，其提供种具有两个或多个电极的电刺激系统，所述电极能够被从超极化(去极化)状态独立地切换到次极化状态。超极化电极和电极极化的多种组合通过极性切换创建，以确定具有通过症状报告和临床诊断测试确定的最佳性能的极性配置。极性切换是手动触发的，或被编程以自动
