The invention is directed to a method for reducing discomfort caused by transcutaneous stimulation. The method includes providing transcutaneous stimulation, reducing the transcutaneous stimulation at a first location, and substantially maintaining the transcutaneous stimulation at a second location. The transcutaneous stimulation may be created by electric and/or magnetic fields. The first location may be relatively proximate to the cutaneous surface and may comprise tissue, nerve and muscle. The second location may be relatively deeper than the first location and include, for example, brain tissue that requires the transcutaneous stimulation for treatment purposes. The invention further may include locating a conductor (105) on a treatment area and/or a transcutaneous stimulation device (100) relative to the first location. The method may include adjusting how much the transcutaneous stimulation is reduced at the first location.
L'invention concerne un nouveau procédé permettant de réduire la gène provoquée par une stimulation transcutanée, qui consiste notamment à produire une stimulation transcutanée, à la réduire au niveau d'un premier emplacement, et à la maintenir sensiblement au niveau d'un second emplacement. La stimulation transcutanée peut être créée par des champs électriques et/ou magnétiques. Le premier emplacement peut se situer relativement à proximité de la surface cutanée et se composer de tissus, de nerfs et de muscles. En outre, le second emplacement peut se situer relativement plus en profondeur par rapport au premier emplacement et comporter, par exemple, du tissu cérébral faisant appel à la stimulation transcutanée à des fins de traitement. L'invention peut concerner également la localisation d'un conducteur dans une zone de traitement et/ou un dispositif de stimulation transcutanée relatif au premier emplacement. De plus, le procédé peut également consister à régler la réduction du niveau de stimulation transcutanée au premier emplacement.
