Скачать или смотреть Fda Clears Home Brain Stimulation Device To Help Treat Depression

An at-home device that sends a gentle electrical current to the brain has been cleared by the FDA to help treat depression. The prescription headset, made by Flow Neuroscience, delivers low-level electrical stimulation to a part of the brain involved in mood and stress control.

The device can be used alone or along with antidepressant medications. Flow expects the headset to be available in the U.S. by mid-2026 for about $500 and is already talking with insurers about coverage.

A key clinical trial found that patients using the device had greater relief from depression symptoms than those using a sham version. About 58% of people receiving the stimulation reached remission, with mild side effects like skin redness and itching.

Experts say this opens up a new era of treatment for depression, allowing more people to access this type of therapy at home instead of having to go to a clinic for procedures like transcranial magnetic stimulation. #health #healthnews #medicine #medical #medicalnews #healthcare
