An electrical stimulation lead includes a lead body; electrodes disposed along a distal end portion of the lead body; terminals disposed along a proximal end portion of the lead body; conductors electrically coupling the terminals to the electrodes; and anchoring units disposed along the distal end portion of the lead body. First and second anchoring units each have a wide end portion and a narrow end portion. The first anchoring unit is disposed closer to the proximal end portion of the lead body than any of the other anchoring units. The wide end portion of the first anchoring unit is disposed closer to the proximal end portion of the lead body than the narrow end portion. The narrow end portion of the second anchoring unit is disposed closer to the proximal end portion of the lead body than the wide end portion.
