First seen Apr 15, 2026 · Last updated May 01, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests whether a device called Alpha-Stim, which sends a tiny electrical current through the ears (cranial electrotherapy stimulation or CES), can reduce anxiety symptoms in 200 active-duty military and Department of Defense beneficiaries. Participants receive either real CES or a sham (placebo) device to see if it works better than a fake treatment. The goal is to find a drug-free way to help service members feel calmer and improve readiness.
