Provided herein is a non-invasive method of treating, controlling or preventing medical, psychiatric or neurological disorders, using transcutaneous electrical stimulation. The method employs a plurality of stimulation frequency parameters, ranging from a relatively high frequency, for example about 40,000 Hertz, to a relatively low frequency, for example about 250 Hertz, the: entire plurality of frequency parameters being administered at each of a plurality of stimulation intensity levels. In particular, the method involves stimulating at a first highest frequency parameter and a first lowest intensity parameter, incrementally decreasing the: stimulation frequency parameter a lowest frequency parameter, increasing the frequency parameter to the highest frequency parameter and increasing the intensity parameter to a next highest intensity parameter, and again stimulating through the plurality of frequency parameters from the highest frequency to the lowest frequency. The method described herein is useful in treating, controlling and/or preventing various disease states and disorders, including without limitation, tremor disorders, such as essential tremor and Parkinson's disease, dementia disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease and painful degenerative disorders, such as reflex sympathetic dystrophy and fibromyalgia.
