About Alpha-Stim®
Alpha-Stim is a non-invasive prescription medical device (prescription not required outside the U.S.) that is FDA cleared to provide fast, safe, and effective treatment of anxiety, insomnia, depression, and pain. The brain functions electrochemically and can be readily modified by electrical intervention. The Alpha-Stim AID utilizes cranial electrotherapy stimulation (CES) to deliver the only patented waveform which is clinically proven to significantly decrease anxiety and comorbid depression. The Alpha-Stim M uses CES to treat anxiety, insomnia, and depression, plus microcurrent electrical therapy (MET) to treat pain. Alpha-Stim can be used alone, along with other therapies, or as an adjunct to medication (without the risk of drug-drug interactions). There are no serious adverse effects, no risk of addiction, and more than 100 research studies over 40 years that prove the effectiveness of this low-level electrical prescriptive brain therapy.
