Not scary at all. Cured me of my migraines 30 years ago.


Micro doses of direct current. Many more uses will be approved in the future

Still, it does not sound like it has really been tested enough, and I thought "electroshock therapy" went "out with high button shoes".

It IS NOT ELECTROSHOCK THERAPY, again-we are talking MICRO current

Have there been any long term studies on children?

4 weeks is basically no data. I don't know how any doctor could fully support this use for a child. Unless the doctors approach is ... this has only been tested for 4 weeks ... wanna try it?

Well at least it's not a ridiculous psychotropic.

I'd be down for a trial on myself (diagnosed with 'the most profound case of ADD ever seen in an adult female, lol by a neuro-psychiatrist).

Wouldn't put it on a kid until I had tried it on me but I'm all for trials in non-psychotropic interventions. Prevention, though. That is what needs to be focused on.

Like I said, there are studies going back 30 years to when I worked on microcurrent stimulation.



The studies listed in the article are the studies used by the manufacturer to bring the device forward to market

Still haven't answered my question. How LONG was the device used and how LONG were the participants followed? What were the results, risks/benefits, serious AEs???

No need to answer, seems clear that the data is super sparse.

There doesn't seem to be a peer reviewed article that looks at the data.

My questions:
Why was the study data capped at 4 weeks?
How many kids dropped out and why?
How many kids are CONTINUING to use the device?
What are adverse effects after 3 months, 6 months of use?
How much improvement was seen in symptoms?

With none of those questions answered, this is a solid, NO.
If you want to pay to read the original research and the background research rather than a writeup for the general public then you'll likely get those answers - please report back!

There is no published study. I already looked.

Really - I found a JAMA article that apparently at least refers to it:
