You don't need to buy a $750 USD device to do this either. You can get away with a very cheap TENS device that has ear clips such as: https://www.tenspros.com/

And then look at a study like https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7199464/table/T2/?report=objectonly https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7199464/table/T... to determine what settings to use for your condition.

- BizarroLand 3y agoPart of me is interested, part of me is horrified by the idea of DIY electroshock therapy.
- thenerdhead 3y agoWhat exactly is DIY here? TENS devices are FDA approved and these are well known settings / protocols for different conditions.
- BizarroLand 3y agoDIY is "Do It Yourself" as in, not having trained professionals do it for you, therefore, the whole thing is DIY. Sure, maybe less DIY than making a pickaxe out of stone and mining the raw metals to build a tens device from actual scratch, but doing it to yourself is doing it yourself.
- thenerdhead 3y agoYes you should absolutely talk to your doctor or an expert before doing it. But that doesn't make it "DIY". I was just pointing out that you don't have to buy a startup's expensive device to get the same functionality.
