Alpha-Stim® AID
A Cranial Electrotherapy Stimulation* (CES) device that uses low-level electrical current to safely and effectively treat many neurological issues.
The technology is used as an effective non-pharmacological choice for the treatment of anxiety, insomnia, depression and pain management. Alpha-Stim can be used in a clinical setting or ordered for home use.
How Alpha-Stim Works
The Alpha-Stim pain relief and depression treatment device can produce beneficial effects after a single treatment. Evidence for this abounds in fMRI, LORETA, and EEG mechanistic studies and clinical double-blind, randomly-controlled medical, psychological, and dentistry studies.1-11
- Amplifies some neurological system activity and deactivates others in a fine-tuning process called neuromodulation
- Neuromodulation either results from, or occurs with, alpha states in the brain that are measurable on an EEG
The Foundation
A Patented Waveform
- Effectively targets cell receptors, activating them through frequency matching in a manner similar to chemical ligands
- Delivers a very low level of current in pulsed microcurrents of less than one milliampere
- Provides a wide range of biological frequencies that no other device can emulate
- The only rigorously tested waveform designed and refined to improve effectiveness
The Impact
An Electrical Intervention
- The brain functions electrochemically and can be readily modulated by electrical intervention1,2
- Alpha-Stim impacts the electrochemical function of the brain to improve patients’ emotional and physiologic states
- Designed to affect the activity of subcortical brain structures known to regulate emotions
- fMRI studies demonstrate the waveform current changes the appropriate brain structures
The Results
Significant Improvement, Quickly, with Lasting Effect
As the leader in CES, Alpha-Stim has helped clinicians around the world offer fast, safe, and effective relief for patients suffering from anxiety, depression, and insomnia.
qEEG changes in 30 subjects treated with 20 minutes of Alpha-Stim CES.
