Treatment of Headaches by Electrical Stimulation

Abstract

A system is provided that includes a patch, which includes a plurality of electrodes and is configured to be coupled to a subject. A mobile device includes a computer processor configured to receive, from a remote server, stimulation parameters derived from processing by the remote server of results from electrostimulation treatment of headaches of a plurality of other subjects; receive an input from a subject; and, in response to the input, while the patch is coupled to the subject, wirelessly communicate a control signal that causes the electrodes to apply stimulation to the subject using the received stimulation parameters as default stimulation parameters for the stimulation. Other embodiments are also described.

         22 . A system comprising:
 a patch, which comprises a plurality of electrodes and is configured to be coupled to a subject; and   a mobile device, comprising a computer processor configured to:
 receive, from a remote server, stimulation parameters derived from processing by the remote server of results from electrostimulation treatment of headaches of a plurality of other subjects, 
 receive an input from a subject, and 
 in response to the input, while the patch is coupled to the subject, wirelessly communicate a control signal that causes the electrodes to apply stimulation to the subject using the received stimulation parameters as default stimulation parameters for the stimulation. 
   
     
     
         23 . The system according to  claim 22 , wherein the received stimulation parameters are selected from the group of parameters consisting of: an intensity of the stimulation and a duration of the stimulation. 
     
     
         24 . A method comprising:
 coupling a patch, which includes a plurality of electrodes, to a subject; and   using a computer processor of a mobile device:
 receiving, from a remote server, stimulation parameters derived from processing by the remote server of results from electrostimulation treatment of headaches of a plurality of other subjects, 
 receiving an input from a subject, and 
 in response to the input, while the patch is coupled to the subject, wirelessly communicating a control signal that causes the electrodes to apply stimulation to the subject using the received stimulation parameters as default stimulation parameters for the stimulation. 
   
     
     
         25 . The method according to  claim 24 , wherein the received stimulation parameters are selected from the group of parameters consisting of: an intensity of the stimulation and a duration of the stimulation.
