A method of patient rehabilitation by electrotherapy including periodically electrically stimulating the patient in the region of his facial nerve system by a controlled alternating electrical treatment signal, which signal is an amplitude modulated, double sideband signal of less than 100 kHz. The treatment signal is applied to the patient's head through a pair of electrodes comprised of two bare electrodes or two insulated electrodes, or one insulated electrode and one bare electrode. The patient's head is an element in an LC series resonant circuit established with the treatment signal source.
