Alpha-Stim micro current waveform activates particular groups of nerve cells that are located in brainstem. The ones that produce serotonin and acetylcholine which effect nerve cells in the brain and nerve pathways that run up into the brain and down into spinal cord. By changing the electrical and chemical activity of certain nerve cells in brainstem Alpha-Stim appears to amplify activity in some neurological systems and diminish activity in others. This neurological fine turning is called modulation, which can occur with the production of a certain type of electrical activity pattern in the brain known as an alpha state which can be measured on brain wave recording (EEG). Such Alpha rhythms are accompanied by feeling of calmness, relaxation and increased mental focus also to decrease stress effects, reduce agitation and stabilize mood and regulate both sensation and perceptions of particular types of pain. These effects can be produced after one single treatment and repeated treatment have been shown to increase the relative strength and duration of these effects. Alpha-stim effects Amygdala, Thalamus , Hypothalamus and Limbic areas. Alpha Stim SCS is well tolerated and very safe in contrast to drugs used in the treatment of anxiety many of which been proven to have undesirable side effects, can be addictive and even leave the drug used in a stupor. Unlike drugs, the Alpha-Stim SCS leaves the mind alert. The person undergoing CES treatment will often report a pleasant, relaxed feeling of well being. Anxiety reduction is usually experienced during treatment, but may be seen hours later, or as late as one day after treatment. Alpha-Stim SCS produces a relaxed yet alert state. As a result the Alpha-Stim SCS is perfect for clinical or home use. استیم قسمتهای مختلفی از مغز رو تحت تاثیر قرار میدهد. قسمتهایی که مسئول تولید سروتونین و استیکلین میباشند که به بروی سلولهای عصبی مغز تاثیر میگذارند .آلفا استیم باعث تولید سروتونین و استیکلین میشود که در واقع باعث آرام کردن فرد و بیشتر شدن تمرکز میشود این مسئله در تصاویری که از موجهای مغزی میگرند با استفاده از ای ای جی قابل رویت بوده است .
