ABSTRACT:
A device for use in providing transcutaneous nerve stimulation and a related method of use are disclosed which may be utilized to stimulate superficial sprigs of the Vagal nerve located in the auricle of the ear for the alleviation of substance withdrawal symptoms or the provision of pain relief, stress relief, and/or general muscle relaxation. The device uses two pairs of transcutaneous pad electrodes, with one pair of the transcutaneous pad electrodes being located on each of the two clips which are applied to the lobes of each ear, with the device then supplying an adjustable amplitude, adjustable repetition rate bipolar pulse train for a predetermined length of time to the transcutaneous pad electrodes on the clips. The device includes safety features whereby the treatment must be initiated with the initial amplitude of the output pulses set to zero and adjusted upward, and wherein the length of the treatment cycle is limited in duration and cannot be restarted without first resetting the device by turning it off and then on again.
