General information on neuroelectrical stimulation (NES):

Neuroelectrical stimulation (NES) to improve health: current research results

Neuroelectrical stimulation (NES) has evolved from an alternative procedure to a recognised medical therapy, as evidenced by a wealth of research. In the last five years, around 500 studies on NES have been published in the USA alone (2022, National Library of Medicine), investigating its versatile applications and effects on health.

NES to improve the quality of Sleep

A recent study investigated the effects of NES on sleep quality in 40 healthy women in a randomised, double-blind study (Wagenseil et al., 2018). Active NES use showed significant improvements in the EEG signal and reduced sleep disturbances compared to the placebo control.

NES to reduce stress and anxiety

Three separate studies have investigated the effects of NES on acute stress and anxiety. One study with 33 participants showed that NES caused significantly lower anxiety scores after dental procedures (Winick). Further research found that NES not only reduces negative emotions, but also promotes parasympathetic activity and improves sleep quality in athletes (Wen-Dien Chang, 2022).

NES for the treatment of anxiety disorders and Depression

A comprehensive study with 115 participants showed a remarkable 32% reduction in anxiety symptoms after five weeks of regular NES use (Barclay and Barclay, 2014). Another study confirmed significant improvements in depressive symptoms with NES compared to placebo control (McClure et al.).

These research results emphasise the many health benefits of neuroelectrical stimulation and its increasing recognition as an effective treatment method. For more information on the studies and applications of NES, please visit the relevant scientific sources or contact us directly.

About the Company imcop-nes:

IMCOP GmbH was founded in 2021 to combine many years of expertise in coaching, product development and organisational consulting. Driven by innovation and based on its own studies on the development of neurotransmitters, IMCOP developed the NES-Energy and was the first German company to market it in Germany. The NES-Energy is a highly developed electrostimulation device that further develops neuroelectrical stimulation therapy and was manufactured in Germany in accordance with the strict requirements of DIN ISO 13485.

The history of Neuroelectrical Stimulation (NES):

The history of Neuroelectrical Stimulation (NES) dates back to the early 20th century when the first NES device, called Somniatron, was developed in the Soviet Union. This device used electrodes placed on the eyelids to deliver 1-4 mA of alternating current at 100 Hz and was used to treat insomnia (Robinovitch, 1914). In the United States, in 1973, the Electrosone 50 was introduced without formal regulatory oversight, a portable and battery-operated NES device intended to induce relaxation and sleep (Kirsch et al., 2014). It delivered alternating current with variable pulse frequencies (up to 4,000 Hz) and an intensity of 2 mA to 8 mA, with electrodes placed on the eyelids and behind the ears.

At the same time, Scottish physician Meg Patterson further developed the NES technique, particularly in the field of addiction therapy. Through the application of electroacupuncture, she discovered positive effects on addiction cravings and withdrawal symptoms. Her research showed that NES not only reduced physical withdrawal symptoms but also alleviated psychological symptoms such as anxiety, depression, and fatigue, helping patients recover faster and be more motivated for therapy and lifestyle changes. She continued to refine the technique by applying different frequencies for various disorders.

In 1978, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) began regulating medical devices, and the Neurotone 101 became the first FDA-approved NES device. It delivered an intensity of up to 1.5 mA at 50-100 Hz through electrodes placed on the supraorbital ridge and mastoid, and was marketed for the treatment of anxiety, depression, and insomnia (Guleyupoglu et al., 2013). Since then, several NES devices have been developed and successfully marketed in the United States.

Neuroelectrical Stimulation has evolved from an alternative approach to a recognized medical method, as evidenced by the large number of medical studies conducted in the United States over the past five years (2022, National Library of Medicine).

Despite its limited recognition in Germany, Neuroelectrical Stimulation (NES) is already established in the United States. NES is successfully used to support the treatment of burnout, depression, addiction, anxiety, stress, sleep disorders, lethargy, and more. It enhances cognitive performance, improves short-term and long-term memory, and promotes overall well-being.

Studies in burnout therapy have demonstrated that continuous NES application maintains or even enhances positive effects. Individuals seeking to manage their stress find strong support in NES.

NES acts as an effective form of electroacupuncture that specifically targets the biochemical aspects of the brain. It stimulates the production of important neurotransmitters such as serotonin, dopamine, endorphins, dynorphins, and GABA, which are deficient due to prolonged stress and can lead to fatigue and restlessness. Regular applications promote not only physical relaxation but also a positive sense of well-being, supporting relaxation, sleep, stress reduction, and muscular relaxation.

NES provides sustainable behavioral change and has proven effective in stress management for over fifty years. It helps restore the production of key neurotransmitters like dopamine, serotonin, and endorphins, thereby enhancing overall well-being.

Neurotransmission and the role of neurotransmitters in the nervous system enable communication between body organs, allowing each part to collaborate efficiently within the entire system. This is crucial for information processing and the body's survival, as it enables the receipt and transmission of information from the environment.

Transmission of a stimulus occurs through neurons connected via synapses. Neurotransmitters play a central role by enabling the transmission of excitation between neurons. They are released from the presynaptic membrane into the synaptic cleft by exocytosis and diffuse to the postsynaptic membrane, triggering a response.

Synapses are where excitation transmission occurs, as electrical stimuli are transmitted from neurons to muscle, nerve, and gland cells. The significance of neurotransmitters lies in their ability to efficiently transmit stimuli between cells, ensuring functional communication throughout the nervous System.
