“Since using the Alpha-Stim probes on the pericardial
meridian point 6, the carpal tunnel syndrome symptoms have decreased
markedly.”

Patient Report:
The patient is a 40-year-old woman
with a long history of Crohn’s disease of the small and large intestine for
more than 20 years. She has had multiple abdominal operations with removal
of much of the small and large intestine, with an ileorectal anastomosis.
She has severe chronic abdominal pain, requiring daily use of narcotics
(methadone and oxycodone). She has chronic diarrhea, frequent episodes of
nausea and vomiting, and severe anxiety and insomnia. Her nausea and
vomiting often requires treatment with very expensive antinausea medicine (Marinol
orally and Zofran by injection). The nausea and vomiting have been helped in
the past with the use of a TENS unit, ReliefBand, stimulating the
acupuncture point pericardial meridian 6 on the distal forearm on the palmar
surface over the median nerve. She also had temporary decrease in her nausea
and abdominal pain with acupuncture treatments.
Three months ago she began using the Alpha-Stim 100 with CES one hour daily
for two months, and then one hour every three days after that. She has
experienced a very dramatic decrease in her anxiety, much improvement in her
sleep pattern, and dramatic decrease in the nausea and vomiting. She feels
that the Alpha-Stim treatment works better for the nausea and vomiting, and
the benefit lasts much longer, than what she experienced with use of the
ReliefBand. Alpha-Stim CES gave improvement in the nausea within a few
minutes, with the benefit lasting for many hours or all day. She also used
the probes, one on the pericardial meridian point 6 and one on the opposite
side of the forearm, with very good effect on the nausea within a few
seconds, with much longer benefit (hours or all day) than occurred with use
of the ReliefBand. In fact, in the past month she did not use any antinausea
medicine, which is a longer time than she has ever gone before without
needing that type of medicine. Her abdominal pain and diarrhea have not
changed significantly. She did not tolerate the AS-Trodes V pads on the skin
of the abdomen because of contact dermatitis. Use of the probes on the
abdomen and back did not seem to help her abdominal pain. In the past, she
had bilateral carpal tunnel release for carpal tunnel syndrome. She
subsequently had recurrence of some carpal tunnel syndrome symptoms. Since
using the Alpha-Stim probes on the pericardial meridian point 6, the carpal
tunnel syndrome symptoms have decreased markedly.
