Abstract
Cerebral palsy treatment apparatus and methodology employs a transcutaneous electronic wave to suppress pain and increase motor function. A first positive contact electrode is placed at the right side of the cranium, and a second negative contact electrode is placed at the left side of the cranium of the head. An electronic current wave comprising relatively high frequency pulses with a low frequency amplitude modulation is then applied between the first to the second electrodes.
