Treatment examples

All positions for electrodes are only examples and may used for the first orientation.
The exactly position for the electrodes have to be tested individually for each
patient.
Tension headache
Programme 1, 2, 5, 7
Tension headache often occurs on both sides of
the neck and is felt like a whole helmet of pain.
Hereby it is practical to place the electrodes onto
Pict. 1: Programme 1, 2, 7
the muscles of the cervical spine, as shown in
picture 1. It can be more efficient to place the
electrodes on the areas that radiate pain in this
body region. To prevent tension headache it can
be of benefit to place the electrodes on the neck
and shoulder muscles, as shown in picture 2.
Pict. 2: Programme 5, 7
Migraine
Programme 2
Migraine is a mostly half-sided, strong type of head
ache, often combined with nausea, an increased
sensitivity, for instance toward light. Usually, clear
pain points are recognizable near the eyes and
temples. The stimulation can take place by placing
one electrode directly onto the pain points above
the eye or eyebrow. The second electrode can be
placed on the cervical spine muscles of the same

body side, as shown in picture 3.
