Abstract
A system and method for providing percutaneous electrical nerve stimulation therapy to a patient. A method in accordance with one embodiment to the invention can include coupling an electrode to the recipient, applying electrical pulses to the probe, and varying a characteristic of the pulses applied to the recipient. For example, the pulses can be automatically varied from a value of no more than about 4 Hz to a value of no less than about 10 Hz and back over a period of greater than 6 seconds. The frequency variation can be repeated for a number of periods during the course of a session, or the frequency characteristics can change with subsequent periods. Characteristics of the electrical pulses can be changed depending on the duration of the session. The method for varying characteristics of the electrical pulses can be automatically implemented by a computer.
