I have attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. I had previously written about the monarchy eTNS device. I have been prescribed the monarch eTNS device.

This is a brain simulator. You wear it on your forehead. It feels like a little tickle, but just barely. An “almost tickle.”

It looks …silly. Or I look silly. Both of those answers are probably correct.

It changes the brain by stimulating cranial nerve V division 1 (that is the trigeminal nerve for those of you studying for step one of the US Medical Licence exam).

I woke up today with a sense of calm purpose.

More results to follow.

But it's something. A reminder, this medical device is FDA approved, for use in children seven through 12, for the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder as a monotherapy. I suspect does quite a bit more than just that.

As an aside, the company has a press release today about its approval in Singapore.

It is a Brains Stimulation future? Maybe. We will see.

Thanks for reading.
