Alpha Stim is a clinically proven medical device that Non-toxically and Non-pharmacologically relieves Anxiety, Insomnia and Depression, using Electro medical technology.  It is used worldwide by physicians, healthcare professionals and in numerous American War Veteran Affairs and Military Medical Centers.  The uniquely patented technology or waveform is used as an effective non-pharmacological choice for the treatment of Anxiety, Insomnia and Depression, which can both be used at a clinical setting, as well as being ordered for home use.

The FDA regulated Alpha Stim device treats patients using the Cranial Electrotherapy Stimulation (CES) protocol.  CES is a process of using an electrical current of less than ½ Milliamps (mA), delivered directly into the Brain via earclip electrodes for 20 to up to 60 minute sessions to treat Anxiety, Insomnia and Depression.

Mechanism of Action

Evidence from public research and ongoing studies shows that Alpha Stim waveform activates particular groups of nerve cells or neurons that are located at the Brainstem.  These groups of nerve cells produce the Chemicals Serotonin and Acetylcholine, which can affect the chemical activity of the nerve cells that are both nearby, and at more distance sites in the nervous system.  These cells are situated to control the sensory (afferent) nerve pathways into the Brain, as well as the motor (efferent) nerves that course down into the spinal cord.  By changing the electrical and chemical activity of the certain nerve cells in the Brainstem, Alpha Stim technology appears to amplify activity in some neurological systems, while deactivating activity in others.  This neurological fine tuning is referred to as neuromodulation, and it occurs either as a result of, or together with the production of a certain type of electrical activity pattern in the Brain known as the Alpha state which can be measured on an EEG.

Effects from Alpha Stim can be produced after just a single treatment as evidenced by EEG mechanistic studies, and by clinical double blind randomly controlled trials in medicine, psychology and dentistry.  Alpha Stim provides long lasting, cumulative relief without the risk of negative side effects such as tolerance and addiction to medications.  Repeated treatments have been shown to increase the relative strength and duration of these effects.  In some cases, effects have been stable, suggesting that the Electrical and the Chemical changes evoked by Alpha Stim technology have led to a durable returning of aspects of the nervous system back to normal function. 

What makes Alpha Stim unique?

Alpha Stim generates a unique and patented waveform that no other device can replicate.  The waveform in a therapeutic device is analogous to the precise chemical compound that differentiates one drug from another.  Alpha Stim’s waveform is distinctive in its proven safety and efficacy.  The waveform is specifically designed to increase Alpha Brainwaves, while decreasing Delta waves.  Alpha is the Brainwave form that is achieved after hours of meditation, and studies have shown that after only a single 20 minute treatment using Alpha Stim, the Brain can enter the Alpha state, or the otherwise meditative state that is achieved after repetitive meditation for long hours.
