Turns out there are numerous ‘FDA Cleared’ CES (cranial electrotherapy stimulation AC) devices available for sale in the U.S. when recommended and prescribed by your doctor. Typically these devices are recommended for pain but also for depression. They also seem to be recommended for use in drug treatment. Cost of the device is sometimes covered by insurance.

A couple of other available devices: CES Ultra and European manufacturer Onko Cet offers the Transair series of transcranial electrostimulation (TES) devices.
Living in the USA, what would be the process for purchasing the Elexoma, and what is the price in US dollars? Thank you.
Let’s see if Frank replies. The post and his response was from 2012.
Although not currently for sale in the USA, the Elexoma Medic is an FDA registered microcurrent device. It has 8 preset channels, 6 of which can be used for tDCS. The other two channels are biphasic.
