Everyone Has Patients Who Don’t Want or Can’t Tolerate opioids

Opioids are sometimes necessary. However, when a patient refuses to take them, has a history of addiction,
or you’re out of medication options, Alpha-Stim provides another tool for your armamentarium. It is fast, safe,
and proven effective, even in the most difficult patients, as evidenced by the recent study of advanced cancer
patients at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center.

The brain functions electrochemically and can be readily modified by electrical intervention. Alpha-Stim utilizes
Cranial Electrotherapy Stimulation (CES) and Microcurrent Electrical Therapy (MET) to deliver the only patented
waveform for a device of its class, with more than 100 clinical studies over 37 years, no serious adverse
effects, and no risk of addiction.
