This is the place where I got mine. Basically the technology has been around in slightly, but significantly different ways and is sold in various ways. This one, Alpha Stim 100 is the only one FDA approved. I asked for a MD referral and they called with my (old) pdoc name. Turns out he had used it with some success clearing up confusion with a brain injured patient. I ended up arguing with him about how it helped me with sleep (3 days) mood (10 days), he didn't believe me...that is one of the contributing factors to why he is now my (old) pdoc. Also, a psychologist in his practice has used it with over 100 patients, with significant but, of course, varying degrees of success. There is a section on research.
