Abstract: The present invention describes a specific set of CES waveforms and delivery schedule which significantly reduce the symptoms of acute withdrawal and protracted abstinence that typically arise following abrupt cessation of nicotine intake, and a system for delivery of same.

Abstract: This invention manages the variation of neuromodulation sequences inherent in effective treatment for poly-substance abuse and dependence through downloadable neuromodulation protocols for common poly-substance combinations. The substance abuse profiles and the poly-substance neuromodulation protocols are placed on an Internet connected server, allowing effective management of complex treatments via network-attached client software to addiction clinics in most of the geographic areas in the world. Such downloadable protocols may be selected based on the addict's presenting drugs, drug history (from the addict and from appropriate medical personnel), health deficits (e.g. compromised liver) and other factors. Modifications to the downloaded protocol may become desirable as acute withdrawal symptoms emerge or other new information regarding the patient's condition becomes available.

Abstract: The communication system can be configured to generate revenue by using advertising elements or storing web pages. The communication system can allow internet access or programs to be performed. The mobile platforms can be automobiles, aircraft, boats, ships, trains or other vehicles. Advertising elements can be stored on the mobile platform.

Abstract: The cranial electrostimulation devices described herein are suitable for use in detoxification from and amelioration of the symptoms of acute and chronic withdrawal from simultaneous multiple addictive substances by transcutaneous electric nerve stimulation. A plurality of time-division multiplexed analog waveforms is applied to the mastoid process of a person in need thereof, thereby treating symptoms of withdrawal from addictive substances. The invention also provides a protocol for encoding a plurality of different waveforms combined sequentially or simultaneously, as well as an improved cranial electrostimulation apparatus having a stable output waveform signal over the useful service life of the power supply, e.g., the battery.
