CES (Cranial Electrotherapy Stimulation) – Cranial Stimulation
The CES, or cranial electrotherapy stimulation, is a treatment method that stimulates the brain with small electrical currents of no more than 600 microamperes. This current is so low that many users do not feel it at all, and those who do only experience a slight tingling sensation.
CES devices deliver rhythmic, low-amplitude current (electricity) into the brain (typically) via electrodes clipped to the earlobes.
Its advantage is that it can be safely used alongside other therapies, including current medications, to gradually reduce or even eliminate the required drug dosage over time.
CES does not cause dependence, and there is no risk of withdrawal upon discontinuation. It is a safe alternative to medication for people recovering from addiction or for those who prefer not to take drugs.
It is safe for those who are otherwise difficult to treat, including the elderly, people with chronic illnesses who are already taking multiple medications, or those in need of a non-pharmaceutical option.
CES treatment is fast and simple, and can be comfortably carried out in your own home.
Applications of CES
It is recommended for the treatment of various conditions, such as:
- Chronic pain (e.g., migraine).
- Anxiety and depression: CES improves the balance of neurotransmitters in the brain, helping to manage mood disorders.
- Sleep disorders: CES may promote restful sleep by facilitating nervous system relaxation.
Cranial electrotherapy stimulation (CES) can be a safe, side-effect-free alternative treatment for certain mental and physical conditions, although its effectiveness may vary from person to person.
Cranial stimulation (CES) cannot be used by individuals with pacemakers or implanted defibrillators.
