Trigeminal Nerve Stimulation
The trigeminal nerve has been referred to as a "superhighway for the brain." The trigeminal nerve is the largest nerve in the head (cranial nerve). It predominantly provides sensation to the face and motor activity to the chewing muscles. Increasing evidence suggest stimulation of this nerve can have therapeutic applications.
