The Alpha-Stim 100 is a precision medical instrument used for the management of pain, anxiety, depression, and/or insomnia. This treatment is non-invasive and drug-free. The Alpha-Stim 100 was developed through original research by Electromedical Products International, Inc.

The Alpha-Stim 100 may be categorized into 2 general categories. Microcurrent electrical therapy (MET) is a term used to describe a low level current used for pain control applied through easy-to-use probes or self-adhesive electrodes, the effects of which are long-lasting and cumulative. The second category, uses the application of ear clip electrodes for anxiety, depression and/or insomnia control, is known as cranial electrotherapy stimulation (CES).

PST (Pulsed Signal Therapy) is a non-invasive therapy that has been shown to exert a beneficial effect on the two main clinical features (decrease pain and increase functional capacity) of Osteoarthritis and Sports-type injuries to any joint or Musculoskeletal disorder without side effects.
