Cranial Electrotherapy Stimulation: A Non-Drug Neuromedical Treatment
December 25, 2006 | By Eileen Jones, RN, MPH | 19 Comments
Cranial electrotherapy stimulation (CES), (also known as "electrosleep", "transcranial electrotherapy" and by many other names), involves a form of treatment that sends low intensity microcurrent (under 1 milliampere) to the brain. [1] CES devices function differently from other biomedical electronics, such as deep brain stimulating electrodes (which prevent seizures and hand tremors) [2] and heart pacemakers. While those instruments require surgical implantation, CES operates non-invasively. Designed for home use, the devices deliver current to the brain via a hand held machine to electrodes attached on or behind the ears.
