Abstract
Headache modulator apparatus and methodology employs a transcutaneous electronic wave to reduce and control migraine and vascular headaches. A pair of electrodes is placed transcranially, i.e., a first contact electrode is placed at one side of the cranium and a second electrode is placed at the opposite 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 positive and negative electrodes.
