Alpha-Stim SCS bij stress, spanning, hoofdpijn en slaapproblemen

To control anxiety, depression, and/or insomnia without drugs in just 20 minutes every other day. Use it while reading, working at your desk, or watching TV!

  • Attach the clips to your earlobes and put on the device.
  • Turns itself off after 20 mins or 1 hour
  • Calm your thoughts with Alpha-Stim SCS
  • Simple to use as 1,2,3
  • The Alpha-Stim SCS treats tension headaches/ migraine, anxiety, depression and insomnia with a very low microvolt current. This current is similar to the currents that can be found in the human body.
    The method we use is Cranial Electro Stimulation (CES).
Alpha-Stim SCS

So simple to use it’s as easy as 1,2,3
The treatment is simple. The current is applied by easy-to-use clip electrodes that attach to your ear lobes.

Alpha-Stim SCS Alpha-Stim SCS Alpha-Stim SCS

Wet the clips with the enclosed conductive
solution,and attach them to your earlobes.

Press the left-hand button to switch on, and press the right-hand button to select 20 or 60 minutes

Adjust the intensity of the stimulation using the dial on the side

What does it feel like?
You may feel a slight tingling sensation under the electrodes, but it is not necessary to feel this in order to achieve results. Most people feel nothing at all except positive results.

How can the Alpha-Stim SCS help?
The Alpha-Stim SCS empowers you to control your anxiety, depression, and/or insomnia. Used just 20 to 60 minutes every day, every other day, or on an as-needed basis, it can help induce a relaxed state and enable the user to focus attention on the task at hand. The Alpha-Stim SCS is well tolerated and very safe in contrast to drugs, many of which have been proven to have undesirable side effects and can be addictive.

The Alpha-Stim SCS leaves the mind alert. The person undergoing CES treatment will often report a pleasant, relaxed feeling of well-being. Anxiety reduction is usually experienced during treatment, but may be seen hours later, or even the day after treatment. Depression and insomnia control is generally experienced after one to two weeks of daily treatment.

Maintenance of a relaxed, yet alert state is generally achieved with treatments three times per week. As a result, the Alpha-Stim SCS is suitable for clinical or home use.

What scientific research has been conducted?
At present, there are over 125 research studies on CES in humans and 29 experimental animal studies. The overwhelming majority of the scientific research is extremely positive. No significant lasting side effects have been reported.

Harvard University School of Public Health, Department of Health Policy and Management found: "The meta-analysis of anxiety showed CES to be significantly more effective than sham (P<.05)." (Meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials of cranial electrostimulation: efficacy in treating selected psychological and physiological conditions by Dr. Sidney Klawansky et al. Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease, 183(7):478-485, 1995.

How does Alpha-Stim SCS work?
Your body is made up of over 75 trillion cells.  Each cell has electrical properties, much like that of a battery. Alpha-Stim® generates a unique, proprietary electrical waveform – using a 9 volt battery – that allows your body’s cells to operate naturally and bring you relief. Relief that lasts well after the treatment and over time, requires less frequent use. Alpha-Stim® was developed in 1981and has since provided millions of people around the world relief, even when nothing else has worked for them.

EEG before treatment
The first graph shows the average activity of brain waves per frequency band of a specific pain patient for 2 minutes.This is an abnormal EEG patern with several high peaks.

EEG after treatment
The second graph shows data of the same patient after 10 minutes of treatment with the Alpha-Stim. It shows a calm and more even pattern of this patients brain waves.

Informatie voor de voorschrijver

CE conformity statement for Europe:
The Alpha-Stim SCS is a Class IIa, Type B medical device. It has been independently tested by outside agencies in order to provide assurance of conformity to applicable standards for medical equipment safety and electromagnetic compliance.
Caution statement for United States:
Federal law (USA only) restricts this device to sale by, or on the order of, a licensed health care practitioner. Outside the USA it is available world wide without a prescription but consultation with a qualified health care professional is recommended for difficult and unresponsive problems or when used with pharmaceuticals or other therapeutic intervention.
Indications:
Alpha-Stim cranial electrotherapy stimulation (CES) technology is continuously being subjected to rigorous study and evaluation by the international medical community. Findings to date indicate that the Alpha-Stim SCS is an effective treatment with broad applications for a variety of anxiety disorders, or for the short term relief of the symptoms of anxiety, depression and/or insomnia. In many cases it is the sole therapeutic method required. As with any therapeutic intervention, not all people will respond to the Alpha-Stim SCS. The degree of efficacy will vary with the nature of the problem being treated and the overall health of the person.
Contraindications:
Alpha-Stim SCS may affect the operation of cardiac pacemakers (particularly demand type pacemakers).
Precautions:
For external use only. Do not allow children to use or handle this device without adult supervision. Do not operate potentially dangerous machinery or vehicles during, and in some cases, for several hours after treatment. Safety of stimulation has not been established during pregnancy. There have been isolated reports of blood pressure being lowered by CES so care should be taken while using the Alpha-Stim SCS with high blood pressure medication.
Adverse effects: Adverse effects are usually mild and self-limiting. Adverse effects seen in approximately 4,541 patients in controlled, open, uncontrolled conditions, and by physician survey and reasonably associated with the use of CES are dizziness (6 cases, 0.13%), skin irritation/electrode burns (5 cases, 0.11%), and headaches (9 cases, 0.20%). Prolonged CES treatment at higher than necessary currents may cause dizziness or nausea that can last for hours to days. Treatment immediately prior to going to sleep may cause difficulty sleeping due to increased alertness. It is recommended that CES be used at least 3 hours before going to sleep. Paradoxical reactions such as hyperexcited states, increased anxiety, and sleep disturbances may occur. If the Alpha-Stim SCS does not control your anxiety, depression and/or insomnia within 3 weeks, discontinue use and consult your physician.

Middels toegepast hersenonderzoek kan Brainclinics tot een effectievere, doelmatigere en gepersonaliseerde behandeling komen. Hierbij maakt BC enkel gebruik van evidence-based methoden, zoals het QEEG (kwantitatief EEG), neuropsychologisch onderzoek (IntegNeuro), lichttherapie en rTMS therapie bij depressie ook wel TMS genoemd. Brainclinics is tevens erkend door de Stichting Applied Neuroscience als evidence based Applied Neuroscience praktijk. Daarnaast houdt Brainclinics zich ook intensief bezig met wetenschappelijk onderzoek. Brainclinics werkt nauw samen met de Brain Resource Company en maakt tevens gebruik van de International Brain Database. <br /><br /> Op onze CLIENT sectie vindt u onder andere meer informatie voor als u zich heeft aangemeld bij ons voor het QEEG of neuropsychologisch onderzoek. Ook vind u daar meer informatie over behandeling van depressie met rTMS (repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation). Dit is een nieuwe behandeling bij depressie zonder medicatie. De client sectie biedt tevens, voor de geďnteresseerden, nog meer achtergrondinformatie over onze onderzoeken. Voor Neurofeedback of EEG Biofeedback kunt u het beste terecht bij het EEG Resource Instituut: Neurofeedback. <br /><br /> Meer informatie over digitaal (neuro-)psychologisch testen en neuropsychologisch onderzoek (IntegNeuro) vindt u op de PROFESSIONAL sectie. Ook kunt u hier terecht als u clienten naar ons wilt doorverwijzen voor QEEG en/of neuropsychologisch onderzoek, rTMS therapie bij depressie of als u meer vakinhoudelijke achtergrond informatie zoekt.
