ABSTRACT:
The present invention discloses human headache relief by application of electrical pulses of an approximate frequency of 10-12 pulses per second to a headache sufferer's skin. Ideally, the pulses are of an amplitude just below the sufferer's pain tolerance level (typically 60 to 150 volts) and are applied by two electrodes: a ground electrode makes contact with any skin area away from the neck or head and a live electrode makes contact with the sufferer's neck or head, depending on the type headache suffered. Further, the pulses preferably have a square wave form with the pulse width approximately 40 microseconds. An application for two minutes is normal and usually provides at least 6 hours relief.
