The primary distinctive feature in a medical device is the waveform, and Alpha-Stim® has a uniquely effective waveform. The application of direct electrical treatment to the brain, along with our treatment protocols for pain also makes the difference that no other device has been able to emulate. Further, Alpha-Stim® technology has been shown to be far more cost effective than prescription drugs.

Alpha-Stim® is very effective. It provides significant relief for 9 out of 10 people who use it. There are three ways to prove that a medical product is effective: research, physician surveys, and professional endorsements. Alpha-Stim® has substantial evidence from all three. There is more research supporting Alpha-Stim® than any other therapeutic device and even more than many drugs. Most of the studies were double-blind. This web site contains annotated abstracts of Alpha-Stim® research, as well as patient testimonials.

Confirming the physician survey is a peer-reviewed outcome study published in the American Journal of Pain Management that revealed an overall significant improvement of 93% in 1,949 pain patients who used Alpha-Stim® for a minimum of three weeks. Most of these people failed to get results from previous therapies or they would never have acquired an Alpha-Stim® in the first place. Supported by the double-blind studies, these surveys provide a good overview of results at a glance.

The Alpha-Stim® is also a lot more cost effective than almost any other treatment for pain and stress-related disorders. Once the device is purchased it costs very little to use. Most drugs cost more than an Alpha-Stim® after just a few months which is documented on our cost containment page. Because of the reduced amount of time it is used, and the inexpensive felt electrodes used with the probes and ear clip electrodes, the Alpha-Stim® 100, Alpha-Stim® SCS or the Alpha-Stim® PPM is even less expensive than the cheapest TENS unit over time.
