Abstract
Example inventions treat a headache by affixing a patch externally on a dermis of a user on a head of the user adjacent to one or more targeted nerves, the patch comprising a flexible substrate, a processor directly coupled to the substrate, and electrodes directly coupled to the substrate. Example inventions activate the patch to initiate a treatment session, the activating comprising generating electrical stimuli to the targeted nerves via the electrodes.
