How Does Alpha-Stim M Treat Pain?
Pain transmits through your body as a sensation along billions of nerve cells designed to transmit pain messages through electrochemical signals. The Alpha-Stim M uses an exclusive, patented microcurrent waveform that modulates these signals within the cells. Using hand-held probes or attachable electrodes, Alpha-Stim M delivers advanced Microcurrent Electrical Therapy (MET) directly to the pain site to provide non-invasive, sustainable pain relief.
Alpha-Stim M is an effective form of pain management designed to help you avoid or reduce the need for pain medicine, but it is safe to use with prescriptions or over-the-counter medications, if needed.
Alpha-Stim M Also Helps to Treat Anxiety, Insomnia, and Depression
In addition to treating acute, chronic and post-traumatic pain, Alpha-Stim M can also be used to deliver Cranial Electrotherapy Stimulation (CES) to relieve anxiety, insomnia, and depression*.
All three often accompany pain, so Alpha-Stim M offers a holistic treatment option for patients with pain conditions.
*FDA cleared for anxiety, insomnia and pain only, with approval for depression outside of the United States.

Compare Alpha-Stim vs. TENS Therapy for Pain Relief
Both Alpha-Stim and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) units are used to provide drug-free pain treatment, but there is a big difference in what they do and how they perform.
And while they both provide pain relief via an electrical device, that’s where the similarities end.
Many choose a TENS unit at first because it can be quick to initially reduce some pain; however, the results are usually short-term. Conversely, the effects of Alpha-Stim are not only fast-acting but long-lasting and cumulative, for more sustainable pain relief over time.

Commonly Asked Questions about Alpha-Stim for Pain Relief
We’ve gotten a few questions over the years about how Alpha-Stim works for pain management. See below for some of our most common questions and answers.
What kinds of pain does Alpha-Stim relieve?
Alpha-Stim M can treat all types of acute pain, chronic pain, and post-traumatic pain.
Is Alpha-Stim more expensive than other treatments for pain?
Over 5 years, someone who takes medication – such as pain pills – or does other treatments typically used to treat acute and chronic pain can pay thousands of dollars more than someone using Alpha-Stim.
How long will I have to use Alpha-Stim?
Alpha-Stim effectively controls pain, anxiety, and insomnia. For some conditions, results are experienced immediately and for others, a small amount of time and persistence provides needed relief and results. Learn more about how long to use Alpha-Stim and when to decrease usage here.
How fast does Alpha-Stim work for pain?
Pain relief is often immediate, with many users experiencing benefits during their first treatment. Alpha-Stim treatments have a cumulative effect, so symptoms will continue to improve with repeated use.
Should I use Alpha-Stim along with another device, like a VNS device?
If you’re considering stacking Alpha-Stim with another device, pause.
Alpha-Stim is FDA-cleared to treat anxiety, insomnia, and pain, making it a strong primary treatment option. You can use Alpha-Stim along with other treatment modalities, but using it along with a VNS device or other CES device is not necessary.

Alpha-Stim is a great option to use to complement TMS though! See why here.
Speak with your healthcare provider before using Alpha-Stim alongside other modalities or treatments. There has been no evidence of drug interaction in 40 years of research and use of Alpha-Stim. Medication change is a decision that should be discussed with your healthcare practitioner.
Does Alpha-Stim help with neuropathy?
Neuropathy refers to damage or dysfunction of peripheral nerves that can result in symptoms such as tingling, burning, numbness, and pain.
While Alpha-Stim is not FDA-cleared to treat the underlying cause of neuropathy, it is FDA-cleared to treat acute, post-traumatic, and chronic pain in adults. This means that although Alpha-Stim does not address the nerve damage itself, it can be used as part of a broader management plan to help reduce the pain associated with neuropathy.
