Zusammenfassung:In an illustrative embodiment, methods and system for increasing coagulation potential and/or triggering a higher platelet activation rate in a subject via auricular neurostimulation include contacting skin of the subject with one or more therapeutic electrodes, each electrode positioned in a respective region of nerve structures of the auriculotemporal nerve (ATN), nerve structures connected to the ATN, nerve structures of the auricular branch of the vagus nerve (ABVN), or nerve structures connected to the ABVN, applying, to the electrodes, one or more stimulation patterns.
