Zusammenfassung:A method of reducing peripheral nerve stimulation in a subject that is being treated using alternating electric fields, the method including selectively turning off one or more different electrode elements during respective different periods of time while alternating electric fields are being applied; accepting feedback that indicates whether peripheral nerve stimulation is occurring during each of the respective different periods of time; and determining whether turning off a given one or more of the electrode elements reduces the peripheral nerve stimulation.
