Alpha-Stim® has been proven effective over 35 years as microcurrent electrical therapy (MET) that can relieve anxiety, depression, and insomnia through cranial electrotherapy stimulation (CES). Through rigorous testing, including more than 100 studies, Alpha-Stim® has been proven safe and effective at reducing acute, chronic and posttraumatic pain.
Most patients show improvement after the first treatment and ongoing use proves to be even more effective. It is safe, with no serious adverse reactions reported in over 35 years of clinical treatment.
We use Alpha-Stim in our clinic to assist in the treatment of pain, depression, anxiety and insomnia. Some patients have reported the ability to move joints within a 20 minute session, when they were otherwise headed for a serious interventive therapy. Insomnia sufferers have reported sleeping for hours at a time the night of a treatment session - something that they otherwise would have had to use prescription medication to accomplish.
Alpha-Stim for Depression
How Alpha-Stim works is based on an exclusive patented waveform that’s the most researched and proven of its kind in CES devices. The waveform passes between two electrodes that you clip on to your earlobes, providing depression treatment by sending a signal to your brain. You are able to set the power level to fit your comfort and many are not able to feel the electrical current at all.
The results can be quite incredible. Patient testimonials report an average of 50% reduction in depression after using Alpha-Stim.
Alpha-Stim and Anxiety Reduction
Anxiety, like other emotions and mental states, are controlled through electrochemical signals in your brain. When these signals aren’t functioning properly, the hormones and neurotransmitters that regulate your emotions can become unbalanced. Neurofeedback uses electrical signals and biofeedback to restore balance to the four quandrants of the brain. Alpha-Stim works similarly, but in a different format to modulate the brain’s electrochemical signals.
Most users notice an immediate reduction in anxiety during the very first treatment. Alpha-Stim’s effect is cumulative, meaning each anxiety treatment is potentially more and more effective—so it won’t lose its effect over time, as with many medications.
