Transcranial stimulation for the treatment of cerebral palsy
First Claim
1. A method for suppressing pain and reducing spasticity associated with cerebral palsy including the steps of respectively securing electrodes transcranially to the right and left side of a patient'"'"'s head, a first electrode being secured to the right side and a second electrode to the left side, and applying a high frequency electrical wave bearing a low frequency amplitude modulation to said first and said second electrodes.

Abstract
Cerebral palsy treatment apparatus and methodology employs a transcutaneous electronic wave to suppress pain and increase motor function. A first positive contact electrode is placed at the right side of the cranium, and a second negative contact electrode is placed at the left side of the cranium of the head. An electronic current wave comprising relatively high frequency pulses with a low frequency amplitude modulation is then applied between the first to the second electrodes.
