Stress busters

A new method of reducing anxiety in the dentist's chair is claimed to be a

resounding success according to a recent study published in the American

Journal of General Dentistry. The new method uses the Alpha Stim Cranial

Electrotherapy Stimulator (CES).

The Alpha Stim uses a tiny electric current, applied through ear clip

electrodes. This

re-establishes the normal electrical flow in the human body by producing

waveforms which

are similar to those seen in the body when it is in a relaxed state. The

normalisation of

the electrical activity of the cells is claimed to reduce the physical

symptoms of anxiety

resulting in the brain allowing the body to relax in what would otherwise be

a stressful

situation. The results can last for hours or days.

A double-blind placebo-controlled study was performed on 33 randomly

selected dental patients to evaluate whether cranial electrotherapy

stimulation (CES)

is a viable procedure for reducing anxiety during routine dental procedures.

The active CES

treatment group was significantly less anxious than the placebo group at the

conclusion

of various dental procedures.

For a person suffering from stress or anxiety disorders this could be highly beneficial to use at home. It would be a lot better than medications that are prescribed. Imagine what this could do in a mental health setting like in mental hospitals? Or even for someone who uses alcohol to loosen up ay a party or nefore a meeting to combat nervousness. It could become a treatment for someone who is addicted to a substance.

I can see a lot of potential if we are not too quick to pass judgement on the good it is vapable of.
