Summary: | A method is provided that includes identifying a subject as suffering from a headache or a migraine within a head of the subject, and, in response thereto, applying electrical energy to an arm, a leg, a hand, or a foot of the subject's body by driving electrical pulses into the portion of the subject's body. The electrical pulses are configured such that more than 50 percent of the applied electrical energy stimulates A-beta sensory nerve fibers, and less than 20 percent of the applied electrical energy stimulates any one of A-delta sensory nerve fibers, C sensory nerve fibers, and motor nerve fibers. Other embodiments are also described. |
