Does Alpha-Stim work on vagus nerve?
Alpha-Stim AID, due to the location of the electrode placement (clipped to the earlobes), is able to simulate a branch of the vagus nerve that is situated nearby (Feusner er al., 2012) but has a different stimulus protocol and the way it is worn is easier.
Does Alpha-Stim help with headaches?
The CES technology harnessed by Alpha-Stim Aid uses a tiny microcurrent, that mimics the electrical current in the brain, to modulate the nerve cells in your brand and alleviate your symptoms. Studies have also shown that the device is effective for treating headaches and migraines too.
