How Does the Alpha-Stim Device Treatment Work?
How Does the Alpha-Stim Device Treatment Work?
The Alpha-Stim AID device uses the CES process to work with the nervous system to get cell signals functioning normally.
Your nervous system is the control centre for your mood. Cells in the nervous system communicate throughout your body and brain, using chemical messengers, or neurotransmitters, like serotonin or dopamine. Neurotransmitters can throw off how different parts of the brain process emotions and how you express them if they are out of balance and their receptors do not work correctly. As a result, mood disorders like depression and anxiety can develop.
Of note, the time that you need to benefit from Alpha-Stim devices will vary. Some people may have immediate relief, while others may need to use the device multiple times.
What Have Researchers Found?
Research has found that Alpha-Stim is an effective treatment for anxiety, depression and Insomnia.
One study published in 2014 compared outcomes for people using Alpha-Stim against those who used a sham treatment. The sham device did not emit electricity. The researchers found that people who used Alpha-Stim had more than a three-time decrease in anxiety symptoms and a 12-time decrease in depression symptoms. Overall, research has found that Alpha-Stim devices are safe. Treatment is relatively free of side effects. Headaches have been reported in 0.1% of people, and skin irritation in about 0.07%.
