Outcomes of Cranial Electrotherapy Stimulation (CES) With Soldiers for Combat-Related Symptoms
The purpose of this double-blind randomized control research study is to determine if CES
given in a group setting for soldiers experiencing irritability is effective to reduce the
symptom of irritability.
given in a group setting for soldiers experiencing irritability is effective to reduce the
symptom of irritability.
Inclusion Criteria:
- Soldiers over 18 years old or emancipated minors willing to sign an informed consent
and complete all protocol requirements.
- Soldiers who score 4 or greater on the visual analog scale for irritability
Exclusion Criteria:
- Seizure disorders.
- Pregnancy. All female Soldiers will verify in the informed consent that they are not
currently pregnant. Safety of stimulation has not been established during pregnancy
and therefore we will exclude women who are or want to become pregnant during the
course of the study.
- Concomitant therapy with an investigational drug or device, or participation in an
investigational drug or device study within one month prior to entering this study
- Patients with a pacemaker or implanted defibrillator. The Alpha-Stim 100 may effect
the operation of cardiac pacemakers (particularly demand type pacemakers) and
therefore this population will be excluded from this study.
