FLOW Neuroscience tDCS

Flow Neuroscience FL-100 Headset with App

The Flow Neuroscience Headset, which can be used with a multi-lingual app (DE/EN/FR), supports transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) in a non-invasive and non-pharmacological setting.

The Flow Neuroscience Headset is a non-invasive, non-pharmacological device that uses transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) to promote behavioural changes that can potentially alleviate depressive symptoms. The device is intended for home use and is CE marked as a Class IIA medical device.

What behavioural changes does the device promote?

The Flow Neuroscience Headset aims to promote the following behavioural changes:

• Improved attention and concentration
• Increased motivation and drive
• Reduced irritability and tension
• Improved sleep quality

These behavioural changes may help alleviate the symptoms of depression by helping people to focus better, feel more motivated and cope better with stress.

What are the study results on the effectiveness of the device in relieving depressive symptoms?

There are a number of studies that have investigated the effectiveness of the Flow Neuroscience headset in relieving depressive symptoms. In a 2022 study published in JAMA Psychiatry, the device was shown to be effective in people with mild to moderate depression. Participants using the device showed a significant improvement in their depressive symptoms compared to a control group using a placebo device.

Another study from 2022, published in the journal Brain Stimulation, showed that the device can be effective in people with severe depression. Participants who used the device showed a significant improvement in their depressive symptoms compared with a control group who received cognitive behavioural therapy.

However, it is important to note that these studies were small and more research is needed to confirm the effectiveness of the Flow Neuroscience headset in relieving depressive symptoms.

What are the side effects of the device?

The most common side effects that may occur when using the Flow Neuroscience Headset are:

• skin Irritation
• Headache
• discomfort

These side effects are usually mild and will go away on their own. If side effects occur, a doctor should be consulted.

Conclusion

The Flow Neuroscience Headset is a promising new device that can promote behavioural changes that may alleviate depressive symptoms. However, it is important to be aware of the potential side effects and to consult a doctor before using the device.
