Abstract
Systems and methods of mitigating one or more bodily effects of a shock condition experienced by an animal (including a human, e.g., a patient) are described. One exemplary method includes providing a device for applying non-invasive neurostimulation to the animal's trigeminal nerve. The method also includes applying the non-invasive neurostimulation to the animal's trigeminal nerve, thereby increasing oxygen flow to the animal's brain and/or reducing brain inflammation.
