METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR TRANSDERMAL STIMULATION OVER THE PALMAR AND PLANTAR SURFACES
First Claim
1. A method for providing transdermal electrical stimulation therapy to a subject comprising:
- positioning a stimulator electrode over a glabrous skin surface overlying a palm of the subject; and
delivering electrical stimulation via a pulse generator transdermally through the glabrous skin surface and to a target nerve or tissue within the hand to stimulate the target nerve or tissue within the hand so that pain felt by the subject is mitigated;
wherein the pulses generated during the electrical stimulation therapy include pulses of a first amplitude and pulses of a second amplitude, where the first amplitude is different from the second amplitude.

Abstract
The disclosure describes devices and methods for providing transdermal electrical stimulation therapy to a subject including positioning a stimulator electrode over a glabrous skin surface overlying a palm of the subject and delivering electrical stimulation via a pulse generator transdermally through the glabrous skin surface and to a target nerve or tissue within the hand to stimulate the target nerve or tissue within the hand so that pain felt by the subject is mitigated. The pulses generated during the electrical stimulation therapy may include pulses of two different magnitudes.
