contacting an outer skin surface of a patient with a contact surface of a stimulator;
generating an electrical impulse;
transmitting the electrical impulse from the stimulator transcutaneously through the outer skin surface to a nerve within the patient;
storing data related to parameters of the electrical impulse applied to the nerve;
transmitting the data to a remote source;
detecting a heart rate variability of the patient and comparing the heart rate variability with the data related to parameters of the electrical impulse; and
providing a therapy regimen that includes transmitting the electrical impulses for a time period of about 30 seconds to about 5 minutes as a single dose, wherein each single dose is applied one or two times on a daily basis.
