tCS – Transcranial Current Stimulation or tES – Transcranial Electrical Stimulation tCS or tES (used interchangeably) is often used to describe any therapy in which electricity is applied on or through the cranium. In comparison to all of the types of cranial stimulation listed below, it is generally understood by most that tDCS is safer, more comfortable, […]

A number of studies have been conducted that show a modest connection between childhood ADHD and risk for later substance abuse (Biederman et al., 2006; Lambert & Hartsough, 1998; Mannuzza et al., 1991; Molina, Flory et al., 2007; Molina, Pelham et al., 2003;2007). Study findings vary somewhat due to different ages of the participants, different […]
CES and Insomnia
When a drug is introduced into the body with the goal of promoting sleep it only masks the real problem, throwing your balance further out of whack. This is the reason drugs often work well for a time, only to have sleep problems re-appear later, often worse than they were initially. Drug therapy proves insufficient […]
Research: Anxiety & Cranial Elec...
Seven separate studies of 220 hospitalized psychiatric inpatients. All were controlled scientific studies employing measures of anxiety with known reliability and validity. There are four replications using the state anxiety scale (STAI-S) and three using the tension/anxiety factor on the Profile of Mood States (POMS-T/A). Most of the studies were for fifteen days-Monday through Friday […]
Case Study: CES Ultra Improves Sleep,...
“We’ve been doing a trial with the CES Unit the past week. The subject was DS*, our 14 year old with diagnosed insomnia, anxiety, and depression. He used the unit for 20 minutes per day, at bedtime. I would rate the improvement in apparent anxiety and depression to be significant. Anxieties are no longer a […]

“I have been treating the patient for generalized anxiety disorder and agoraphobia [fear of places or situations that might cause you to panic and make you feel trapped, helpless or embarrassed] for approximately three weeks. She has been having increasing difficulty with this system complex for approximately three years. Stopping the use of nicotine, alcohol, and […]

Five studies employing three different measures and 189 different patients suffering from depression. All were in treatment facilities, either psychiatric or chemical dependency. Each of the studies was conducted under controlled conditions; one, double-blind, four, single-blind. Graphical Interpretation Under each set of bars is the psychological test used to measure depression in each study including […]
CES and Depression
When drugs have many serious negative side effects, other options need to be considered. People who are depressed have a demonstrable imbalance in the neurotransmitters which affect their moods and emotions. What they need is a safe and effective way to restore that balance with minimal side effects. Skills, Hypnosis, PSYCH-K, Herbs, Nutrition, and even […]

Click the link below to find scientific studies on CES. The CES Ultra stands apart from all other devices, especially in the context of Meta-analyses. A Meta-analysis contrasts and combines the results from many different studies rather than relying on a single study to draw particular conclusions. Meta-analyses yielding positive results from the use of […]
CES and Anxiety
CES offers an effective drug-free way to end the vicious cycle of anxiety. It provides effective relief with none of the unpleasant side effects of prescription drugs. For a public increasingly concerned with the effects of stress on physical health and emotional well being, CES provides a way of addressing that stress in a safe […]

What is Cranial Electrotherapy Stimul...
Cranial Electrotherapy Stimulation is the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) term for the employment of small amounts of gentle electrical stimulation for the treatment of depression, anxiety and insomnia. Research over the last few decades has helped professionals better understand the connection between brain function, neurotransmitters, and electrical stimulation. We have learned that the […]
