Abstract
A topical nerve stimulation patch includes a substrate, a dermis conforming bottom surface of the substrate, a top outer surface of the substrate, a plurality of electrodes positioned on the patch proximal to the bottom surface and located beneath the top outer surface and coupled to the substrate, a power source and electronic circuitry embedded in the patch and located beneath the top outer surface and coupled to the substrate. The electronic circuitry is configured to generate an electrical stimuli via the electrodes that comprise a plurality of pulses of a target output voltage, and includes a controller configured to generate a first pulse at a first output voltage that is less than the target output voltage and generate a second pulse at a second output voltage that is less than the target output voltage and greater than the first output voltage.
