TDCS transcranial electrical stimulator

The DC-STIMULATOR MOBILE is a clinical simulator designed to be used in clinics and practices. Using this device, doctors and psychologists can apply transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) using weak currents up to 2mA over 15-30 minutes. tDCS represents part of interventional neurophysiology; the electrical charges and densities administered during tDCS lie far below the threshold for releasing a stimulus and have a modular effect on existing neuronal elements. Depending on the duration, used current, current density and frequency, the stimulation is effective on inhibiting or activating cortical activity. The DC-STIMULATOR MOBILE is for transcranial Direct Current Stimulation for reduction of depressive symptoms. It can be applied as monotherapy or in combination with other treatments. For patients with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) medication and failure to another drug, no further benefit of tDCS beyond unspecific (placebo) effects can be expected. Applications The DC-STIMULATOR MOBILE can be used as part of the day-to-day routine of therapy centers and practices. This device is best used when: Therapy is carried out according to a fixed protocol, which isn’t changed Patients are to be treated within fixed time spans. When ordering the device, the user specifies a stimulation configuration. A configuration can include up to 8 different stimulation sequences, which can then be selected on the stimulator unit. After the device is delivered, the DC-STIMULATOR MOBILE only functions in this mode. This effectively prevents inadvertent or unintended changes to the stimulation parameters and makes the day-to-day usage of the device easier.
