More Information
The method of treatment
ALPHA-STIM AID Works using the electrotherapy method using CRANIAL ELECTROTHERAPY STIMULATION (CES).
Using electrodes that are attached to the earlobes, Alpha Stim transmits a current at the level of microamps (similar to those found in our bodies naturally) that affect the chemical activity of certain groups of nerve cells located in the brain stem and, as a result, increase the level of neurotransmitters - beta-endorphins and serotonin and the activity of alpha waves in the brain.
Beta-endorphins contribute to a state of calmness and peace and serotonin has a role in regulating our mood, appetite, sleep and cognitive functions, including memory and learning. Alpha waves are the brain waves that operate in a state of alertness and relaxation.
The effectiveness of ALPHA-STIM Proven by over 100 rigorous studies conducted over the past 35+ years.
Contraindications
ALPHA-STIM AID May affect the operation of an artificial implanted pacemaker and the operation of implanted fibrillators.
The safety of stimulation has not been established during pregnancy

I became familiar with the Alpha-Stim devices regarding the relief of symptoms of anxiety, stress and internal pressure.
Usually, this relief was due to repeated use, and it is very important to note that they are beyond the reliefs I expected, so I was very impressed.

I use my device Alpha-Stim In my practice since October 2010, starting with the analog models and after that with the more innovative digital models, as mentioned above.
In my opinion, Alpha-Stim It is a safe and effective treatment in relieving the symptoms of many patients suffering from anxiety, depression, insomnia and various pains.
In my experience, these symptoms improve with regular and continued treatments, and therefore, I recommend home use by the patient as a safe and user-friendly device.
It is worth noting that Alpha-Stim Effective for treating insomnia related to stress, mood disorders and pain, but not a solution for sleep disorders due to sleep apnea. Regarding patients diagnosed with or suspected of having apnea, a doctor specializing in the treatment of this condition should be consulted.

I tried the devices with several patients suffering from dental anxiety which is related to the fear of various treatments in the clinic, and I saw a significant reduction of stress and tension with these patients, compared to treatments in the past (before using the device).
Certainly the device is a very effective aid in situations of stress and anxiety that can reduce the need to use laughing gas or sedation, and is also simple and safe to use in the clinic or at home.
