Trigeminal Nerve Stimulation
Subjects will be randomized to treatment with either active or sham TNS for a period of eight weeks. The programming will be set by an individual who has no contact with subjects to deliver TNS in a double-blind manner (n=37 in each group) at the active frequency of 120 Hz. TNS will be performed for approximately 8 hours each night, a protocol that subjects found acceptable in the pilot work.

The programming will be set by an individual who has no contact with subjects to deliver TNS in a double-blind manner (n=37 in each group) at the sham frequency of 0 Hz. TNS will be performed for approximately 8 hours each night, a protocol that subjects found acceptable in the pilot work.
