The invention is directed to a novel method for reducing discomfort caused by transcutaneous stimulation. The novel 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, nerves and muscle. Also, 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 on a treatment area and/or a transcutaneous stimulation device relative to the first location. In addition, the method may further include adjusting how much the transcutaneous stimulation is reduced at the first location.
L'invention concerne un nouveau procédé visant à réduire le malaise produit par une stimulation transcutanée. Le nouveau procédé comporte les étapes consistant à: appliquer une stimulation transcutanée, réduire la stimulation transcutanée en un premier point, et maintenir sensiblement la stimulation transcutanée en un deuxième point. La stimulation transcutanée est produite par des champs électriques et/ou magnétiques. Le premier point est relativement proche de la surface cutanée et comprend du tissu, des nerfs et du muscle. Le deuxième point est en outre relativement plus profond que le premier point et comprend, par exemple, du tissu cérébral nécessitant la stimulation transcutanée à des fins thérapeutiques. L'invention comprend de plus les étapes consistant à placer un conducteur sur une zone à traiter et/ou un dispositif de stimulation transcutanée par rapport au premier point; et régler la réduction de stimulation transcutanée au premier point.
