Abstract
Apparatus is provided that includes a set of two or more electrodes configured to be placed in electrical contact with a portion of a body of a subject, and at least one computer processor configured to drive the electrodes to apply an amplitude-modulated signal into the portion of the subject's body. The amplitude-modulated signal contains a high frequency component that acts as a carrier wave, the high frequency component having a frequency of between 80 Hz and 120 Hz, and a rectangular low frequency component that acts as a modulating component that modulates the carrier wave, the rectangular low frequency component having a frequency of between 1 Hz and 8 Hz. Other embodiments are also described.
