The Alpha-Stim is a Cranial Electrotherapy Stimulation (CES) Unit.

In a survey of 47 physicians reporting on 500 patients, Alpha-Stim treatments produced significant results of at least 25% improvement in 92% of patients for pain management, 94% for anxiety, 90% for depression, 93% for stress, 79% for insomnia, 90% for headaches, and 95% for muscle tension. Nearly half of the patients in all categories had 75 to 100% relief.


A survey of 2,500 patients who used Alpha-Stim technology for 3 weeks or more reported similar results. Of 1,949 pain patients, only 7% had less than 25% improvement, 32% had fair improvement of 25-49%, 38% had moderate improvement of 50-74%, and 23% of the patients experience 75-100% improvement. Combining the survey results from the 723 patients reporting anxiety, depression, stress, chronic fatigue, and/or insomnia, only 8% had less than 25% improvement, 24% had fair improvement of 25-49%, 33% had moderate improvement of 50-74%, and over one-third (35%) experience 75-100% improvement.

Electrical stimulation that is intended to effect changes anywhere in the body can only be successful if the necessary nutrients are available when the treatment is applied. For example, researchers believe that CES helps recovering addicts by stimulating the brain to make more endorphins, but these can only be produced if the requisite amino acids that are present in the diet and in an available form. Similarly, microcurrent stimulation of damaged tissue can not instigate, or increase the rate of body repair if the requisite nutrients are not available at the damaged site, just as electromagnetic bone growth stimulators can not be expected to be successful if insufficient calcium is available at the fracture site, among a multitude of other required nutrients. Fortunately, most people do take nutritional supplements today so they have the minimum requirements on hand for electromedical intervention to work.

In summary, electromedicine is fast becoming recognized as one of the primary safe, efficacious and certainly most cost effective treatments of choice in the 21st century. Time will show that its greatest benefit is in maintaining functional homeostasis
