We at Caputron love helping others discover and expand their potential, all through the power of completely safe and controlled stimulative technologies. Among them are TENS units, specialized devices that are used to address a number of conditions and complications. Today, let’s explore the fundamentals of what a TENS unit is, how it works, and why it’s useful to so many individuals. Defining TENS...

We at Caputron offer a wide variety of stimulation treatment devices for the mind as well as a number of compatible, high-quality accessories. But do you know about all forms of treatment available? One of them, transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), is sometimes confused with others including CES and tDCS, but it offers a completely different experience to the user. Today, let’s aid you in...

At Caputron, we know our way around a tDCS machine. Short for transcranial direct current stimulation, this technology delivers a completely safe, controlled current to key parts of the mind, through electrodes placed onto the patient’s head. That current can be used to target specific cranial zones to induce various stimulant effects. However, just what are some common use cases for tDCS, and is...

At Caputron, we’re proud to pioneer mental stimulation solutions that are safe, hassle-free and FDA-cleared. All of them, from TMS and tES to tDCS and CES, utilize a process known as neurofeedback. This process is fundamental to improving the mental efficiency of those who participate in regular, quick and painless treatment sessions, which can be administered by trained medical professionals who know these systems...

In advanced brain stimulation and neuromodulation research there is no device more flexible then a voltage-to-current stimulator. In this review, Caputron will explain why, as well as clarifying some of the terminology around these types of devices. What is voltage-to-current stimulator used for? In electrical stimulation, “current controlled” approaches are preferred as they are more reliable in how the body is activated. So most...

Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation – otherwise known as tDCS – is an ideal treatment solution for emotional and psychological distress. For years, Caputron has pioneered the way forward in raising awareness of this innovative solution, and more individuals and practitioners than ever before are adopting the technology. With that said, there are some caveats to bear in mind; not every tDCS device is built...

Cranial electrotherapy stimulation (CES) is one of the most respected and trusted current-based treatment solutions. FDA-cleared for use in addressing depression, anxiety and insomnia, the technology has been adopted in many healthcare environments to provide a compelling new form of care. With that said, those three conditions have one thing in common: they are all common in those dealing with addictions. Using them as...

Cranial electrotherapy stimulation – otherwise known as CES – is a treatment cleared by the FDA for addressing insomnia in patients. Completely non-invasive and safe, it works to encourage the brain to react appropriately to the need for rest. The severity of insomnia can vary depending on how early or late it occurs in a typical sleep cycle. Today, let’s explore in further detail...

tDCS has long been appreciated as a non-invasive way to adjust emotional reactivity and effectively steer the mind in decision-making. A key benefit of the technology is its ability to improve mental focus in individuals, and evoke a more motivating learning experience. Today, let’s touch on the essentials of tDCS devices and list our favorites for improving learning capabilities. An Overview of What tDCS...

Update: December 20, 2019 The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has reclassified CES devices intended for the treatment of anxiety and/or insomnia from Class III to Class II medical devices. CES devices intended for the treatment of depression will remain Class III and need to file a premarket approval application (PMA) to retain clearance for depression. This article has been updated to reflect those...
