The Alpha-Stim
®
M is a precision medical device used for the management of
insomnia and pain. Alpha-Stim
®
M provides a safe, effective and proven alternative
to drugs especially in disorders that require long-term management. Potential side
effects of drugs are avoided. After treatment, there are usually no physical
limitations imposed so you can resume normal activities. The treatment is simple
and easily self-administered at any time. People using the Alpha-Stim
®
M usually
report a pleasant, relaxed feeling of well-being accompanied by an alert mind.
The current is applied by hand-held Smart Probes or self-adhesive AS-Trode™
electrodes for pain control, or by Earclip electrodes for insomnia. During a treatment
you may experience a mild tingling sensation at the electrode sites. If the current is
too high, you might experience dizziness and nausea which can be alleviated by
reducing the current.
The Alpha-Stim
®
M is often the only means required to relieve insomnia and
pain. However, it may also be added to other therapy. The Alpha-Stim
®
M will not
interfere with most other treatments except that it may rapidly reduce the
requirements for some medications by approximately one third to one half. Only a
physician is qualified to adjust medication dosages so keep your doctor informed of
your progress.
Once you understand the basic product features and procedures, you will find
the Alpha-Stim
®
M is easy to use. Please read this entire manual
thoroughly before using it. Be sure to follow the general instructions given herein
and any specific directions from your health care practitioner.
