How Soon Will I See Results with Alpha-Stim?
Alpha-Stim is a fast, safe, and effective treatment for anxiety, insomnia, depression*, and pain, bringing significant relief to 9 out of 10 users. But when you are suffering from any of these conditions, you want to know exactly how fast and how effective Alpha-Stim is.
Below, we outline the expected timeline for results for each condition. It’s important to note; however, that everyone responds differently to treatment.
*FDA cleared for anxiety, insomnia, and pain only, with approval for depression outside of the United States.
How Fast Does Alpha-Stim Work for Anxiety?
Most people experience relief from anxiety with their very first treatment with Alpha-Stim. You may use your Alpha-Stim on an as-needed basis for your anxiety, or at regular intervals such as daily or every other day.
How Fast Does Alpha-Stim Work for Insomnia?
While some people may experience better, longer sleep after just one treatment, it typically takes at least 2 to 3 weeks for insomnia to improve, and in some cases, it could take over a month of 2-3 treatments a week.
How Fast Does Alpha-Stim Work for Pain?
Pain relief is often immediate, with users experiencing benefits during their very first treatment. Alpha-Stim treatments have a cumulative effect, so symptoms will continue to improve with repeated use.
One exception is chronic, widespread pain, which is best treated with daily treatments and may take a few weeks for noticeable improvement. After an initial program of daily treatments, chronic pain management with Alpha-Stim might require weekly or more frequent treatments for life.
How Fast Does Alpha-Stim Work for Depression*?
Depression symptoms take the longest to abate. It often takes 3 or more weeks for a significant change to occur, although some people feel relief within a matter of days.
How Long Should My Alpha-Stim Session Be?
For all these conditions, Alpha-Stim is usually used for 20 to 60 minutes, either daily or a few times a week. The exception is that immediate direct pain management can often be achieved using the Smart Probes in about five minutes or less.
Since results are cumulative with Alpha-Stim, many patients are able to decrease use over time and may find that they can maintain their relief with treatments only once a week. There is no risk of overuse with Alpha-Stim.
