Abstract
A non-invasive, transcutaneous electrical device stimulates nerves using unpulsed, constant direct current. The device uses a constant, unpulsed direct electric current of low constant voltage and power through air core uninsulated wire coil electrodes. The device includes a switch to open or close the circuit, a fuse that serves as the automatic overload trip voltage level, and two wire coil electrodes of uninsulated wire. The coil electrodes are positioned on the forehead directly superior to the eyes proximal to the supraorbital and supratrochlear nerves and apply a direct current transcutaneously to the forehead.
