Trigeminal nerve stimulation: seminal animal and human studies for epilepsy and depression

Christopher M DeGiorgio et al. Neurosurg Clin N Am. 2011 Oct.

Abstract

The unique ability to stimulate bilaterally, extracranially, and non-invasively may represent a significant advantage to invasive neuromodulation therapies. In humans thus far the technique has been applied noninvasively, and is termed external trigeminal nerve stimulation (eTNSTM).
