By pinching the two electrodes of the device into the ear lobe and pressing the start button, the user can see the current flowing through the brain and running down to the back, helping them soothe the central nervous system and relax. God. This is the use of a machine called the Alpha-Stim SCS, which uses 'electrotherapy' to relieve pain and control the mood of the user.

Alpha-Stim SCS is a pocket-sized device that attaches to two small wires with a clip, allowing you to clamp directly to the ear lobe (photo). It uses electric stimulation of the electrical cortex, with intensity ranging from 50-100 microamaps (1 microampe equals one part per million amps), to increase alpha brain waves to calm the central nervous system, relax the muscles. and bring alertness. According to Dr. Daniel Kirsch, the inventor of Alpha-Stim SCS, side effects that may occur with the use of this device are headaches, dizziness or nausea. However, regular use of the device in just a few weeks, users can clearly feel the benefits it brings. In a group of patients suffering from fibromyalgia (chronic fatigue syndrome) in just a few days, Dr. Kirsch found that the device not only relieves pain but also relieves symptoms associated with it. such as anxiety and sleeplessness. Echocardiography before and after using the device, Dr. Lesley Parkinson, a clinical psychologist in the UK, found that electrotherapy positively affects brain waves. 'If a patient comes to me for an anxiety disorder, I would suggest they try Alpha-Stim SCS first,' said Parkinson.
Alpha-Stim SCS is now available for £ 299 (£ 299).
