摘要: A medical method and apparatus consisting of a belt worn battery operated waveform generator is provided to give patients suffering from drug or alcohol withdrawal relief severe physical symptoms associated with the initial abstinence which they are addicted. The instant invention in principal an advanced more sophisticated form electro acupuncture rather than delivering some arbitrary electric current delivers non-invasive very specific electromagnetic patient's mastoid processes behind ear using two electrodes attached generator. After approximately forty minutes acute either significantly reduced completely eliminated. In use, device typically by patient during three five day period may alter intensity stimulation duration stimulation. Importantly, feels no discomfort, totally mobile, and, since do not pierce skin, risk infection transmission blood born infectious diseases impossible. addition reducing also decreases total time clinical sub-clinical state that dependence as compared standard therapies such methadone substitution.
