The electrical pulses may be selectively varied in amplitude in the range of zero to about 100 volts peak-to-peak, the pulse repetition frequency may be selectively varied in the range of about 10 HZ to 100 HZ, and the output current is from 1 MA to 40 MA. In addition, the output electrode is located at the site of the pain and the return electrode is located on the body at distance in the range of 7 cm to 20 cm from the output electrode.
There is also disclosed a method for pain alleviation utilizing electric pulses having the above-described parameters.
