While the Alpha-Stim
®
AID is significantly effective when it is used correctly
for 9 out of 10 people who use it, it will not work for everyone. If the
Alpha-Stim
®
AID is not working well for you contact your health care
practitioner, your local authorized Alpha-Stim

distributor or EPI for
technical support.
Anxiety reduction is usually experienced during a single treatment but
may be experienced hours after treatment.
Insomnia is usually improved after the initial treatment but may take 3
weeks. Most people can use it at bedtime and when awakened during the
night. However, some people find they must conduct their 20 - 60 minute
Alpha-Stim
®
CES treatment at least 3 hours before going to bed because a
CES treatment may interfere with sleep. It may also be used in the morning
to promote better sleeping at night.
Depression typically takes 3 weeks or more of daily treatment to
experience significant improvement but may take considerably longer. After
the condition is under control, use of Alpha-Stim
®
2 - 3 times per week or
less is usually sufficient to maintain good results.
Following treatment, there are usually no physical limitations imposed
so most users can resume normal activities immediately.
At present, there are over 100 research studies on using Cranial
Electrotherapy Stimulation in humans and more than 30 animal studies.
No significant lasting side effects have been reported. If a heavy feeling
occurs, continue treatment until at least 2 minutes after it gives way to a
light feeling. Any side effects which have occurred have all been mild,
self-limiting reactions.
