Zusammenfassung: | A method is provided that includes coupling a plurality of electrodes to skin of a subject caudally to a neck of the subject, such that the electrodes are spread over a plurality of dermatomes. Using a computer processor, in response to the subject experiencing a headache, without using any element that is implanted in the subject, and without using any element that penetrates skin of the subject, the headache is treated by transcutaneously stimulating the subject, by applying an electrical current to the skin, via the electrodes. Other embodiments are also described. |
