Electronic migraine modulator apparatus and methodology

DETAILED DESCRIPTION What is claimed is: 1.
Electronic migraine modulator apparatus and methodology for employing a transcutaneous electronic wave to reduce and control migraine headaches, first positive contact electrode means being placed at the pain site and a second positive contact means is placed at the web of the contra-lateral hand; a first negative contact is placed at the contra-lateral trapezius origin, and a second negative contact electrode means is placed at the web of the ipsilateral hand, and means for supplying an electronic current wave comprising a high frequency electrical wave bearing a low frequency amplitude modulation to said first and said second electrode.
2.
The method as in claim 1, wherein the frequency of said high frequency electrical wave was in the range of 12-20 khz, wherein said low frequency modulation is in the range 8-20 hz, and wherein said wave does not exceed about 4 milliamperes.
3.
The method as in claim 1 or 2, wherein said amplitude modulation is non-symmetrical.




Description:
DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to electronic pain suppression apparatus and methodology and, more specifically, to migraine modulator apparatus and procedure for reducing or controlling migraine headaches.
It is an object of the present invention to provide migraine modulator apparatus and methodology for treating migraine headaches.
More specifically, an object of the present invention is the electronic treatment of migraine headaches in a safe, efficient and rapid manner to reduce or control the headache and alleviate pain associated with the disease.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide electronic transcutaneous electronic nerve stimulating equipment operative at very low, milliampere current levels, which relieves perceived pain, and treats migraine headaches.
The above and other objects and features of the instant invention are realized in a specific illustrative migraine modulator and methodology which employs a transcutaneous electronic wave to reduce or control migraine headaches
