The initial intensity of the electrical current was 6.5 mA in position "A" (Fig. 2a) using two sets of snap skin electrodes, located on each side of the midline, above and beneath the lesser horns of the hyoid bone, on the mylohyoid muscles, and on the thyrohyoid muscles. Position "B" (Fig. 2b) using one set of electrodes, located on each side of the mouth, on the orbicularis oris muscle and the masseter muscles.
