1. A method of providing a nerve stimulation treatment using electrodes coupled to a user, the method comprising:
affixing a patch externally on a dermis of the user, the patch comprising a flexible substrate and an adhesive on a first side adapted to adhere to the dermis of the user, and electronic components directly coupled to the substrate, the electronic components comprising a processor, circuitry for measuring a charge value of an electrical pulse applied to the dermis, and the electrodes;
determining a target charge level;
outputting a series of the electrical pulses from the electrodes;
for one or more of each pulse outputted, the processor using the circuitry to determine a charge value of the pulse and comparing the charge value to the target charge level;
if the charge value is greater than the target charge level, reducing a strength level of a subsequent outputted pulse; and
if the charge value is less than the target charge level, increasing the strength level of a subsequent outputted pulse.
