Cost Containment Comparison Between Alpha-Stim® and the Leading Anxiety, Insomnia, Depression and Pain Medications.
The Alpha-Stim® is a prescription medical device cleared by the FDA to treat anxiety, insomnia, depression and pain. Alpha-Stim utilizes a microcurrent to deliver a unique proprietary waveform that interacts with bioelectricity allowing the body to recover. Alpha-Stim has been on the market for over 30 years and has more research than any other therapeutic device.
While the long term cost effectiveness of using Alpha-Stim in comparison to popular psychopharmceuticals is significant, the most impressive argument for choosing Alpha-Stim is the lack of side-effects. In 144 human research studies including over 8,800 patients receiving active treatments, the most common side-effects reported was: myogenic headache (1:977, 0.10%) and skin irritation at the electrode site (1:1,465, 0.07%), both of which are mild and self-limiting.
The Alpha-Stim® SCS, used to treat anxiety, insomnia and depression, has a retail price of $595 while the Alpha-Stim®100, which also includes the treatment of pain, retails for $995. Both models carry a 5 year warranty. In the cost comparison chart for Alpha-Stim pricing we included:
- 1 package of 256 ear clip electrode / 3 months = $15
- 1 15 ml bottle of Alpha Conducting Solution / 3 months = $10
- 1 9 volt battery / 1 month = $2

Alpha-Stim® is an effective, non-toxic treatment option for anxiety, insomnia, depression and pain. Alpha-Stim® is clearly more cost effective and much safer than the leading pharmaceuticals proving once again, that there really is no comparison.
