Disclosed herein, among other things, is a method for stimulating neural
targets in the vicinity of a human ear. According to an embodiment, a
device is clipped on a patient ear lobe, the device including a neural
stimulation electrode. A neural stimulation signal is applied to the
electrode to transcutaneously stimulate neural targets in the vicinity of
the ear lobe, according to an embodiment. A physiological parameter is
sensed using a sensor connected to the device. According to an
embodiment, the neural stimulation signal is adjusted in response to the
sensed parameter. The method is used is a variety of treatment regimens,
including anti-hypertensive and cardiac improvement therapy.
