1. A lead placement tool for placement of an electrical lead within a spinal treatment site having access to one or more target spinal levels for delivering neuromodulation stimulation to at least one dorsal root ganglion within the spinal treatment site, the lead tool comprising:
first and second end regions and a central region disposed therebetween, the lead tool adapted for routing and placing the electrical lead in therapeutic proximity with a dorsal root ganglion;
wherein at least a part of the first end region comprises a first partially open channel and adapted to translatingly receive the electrical lead therein, and
wherein the lead tool is angled at a point between the central portion and the first region, wherein the central region, the first end region and the second end region are disposed along a common longitudinal plane,
wherein at least a part of the second end region of the lead placement tool comprises a second partially open channel adapted to translatingly receive the electrical lead therein, and wherein the lead placement tool is angled at a point between the central region and the second end region, wherein the central region, the first end region and the second end region are disposed along the common longitudinal plane of the lead placement tool.
