Interesting indeed. Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) is an increasingly popular form of neurostimulation that applies a low level electric current through two electrodes to targeted areas of the brain as an alternative to chemical stimulants such as caffeine, sugar, and other performance enhancers.
After the stimulation period, compared with sham tDCS, active tDCS induced a significant decrease in [11C]raclopride binding potential ratio in the striatum, suggesting an increase in extracellular dopamine in a part of the striatum involved in the reward–motivation network.
After Covid, my PD meds completely stopped working, I went from mainly right arm tremor to severe whole body shaking. As I type this, just a minor tremor in my right hand.
This is how they get around the FDA approval process. They claim its non-medical/recreational. They would never state it could treat any symptom/condition.
Before I purchased this device, I discussed tDC with my MDS, I've been following tDC technology for years (before my PD diagnosis), he told me it doesn't produce any long lasting relief (I'm sure he knew very little if anything about tDC). This particular unit has fixed parameters that are in accordance with the published medical research. Meaning it only has an on/off button.
I had Covid during Christmas and my tremors went crazy. I had monochromal infusion (I probably spelled that wrong) but it did help me recover faster. I did not know about this product and the price isn't crazy, may look into this more seriously! Thanks for sharing!
thank you so much for sharing this! May be helpful to my husband who has been sick since early Jan (with I believe a second serving of covid). He is very extremely miserable!
Covid infection did make my husband's PD worse. He says no way. However we both had over holidays and were only mildly ill. Got antibodies tested MD say greater than 10 good. Mine 67 his 443! Which I think means even though he was not feeling very sick his body put up quite a fight. Strange virus.
It has ramped on and off, meaning it slowly reaches full power. At full power, if I don't focus attention on it, I don't even know it is on. I did get a slight headache a couple of times.
