A method and apparatus for use in the treatment of pain through frequently alternating temperature stimulation uses a Peltier effect thermoelectric unit to induce thermal gradients in a patient's skin to selectively elevate and lower the temperature of the skin relative to a baseline skin temperature for brief intervals. The duration, intensity, frequency, and direction of the thermal gradient may be controlled via a microprocessor-based controller and a set of rheostats.
