In some, yes: The fisher wallace stimulator does have active ongoing research plus published research as well. It can be useful -- either separate from, or combined with, medications for anxiety, depression, and pain. It requires at least 5-10 sessions for effect. It requires a prescription, and costs ~$695 (which insurance may or may not cover.)this is comparable to other devices, such as the alpha-stim.

If you believe in it: Some people swear by fws, but there is no scientific evidence that it benefits anything other than fw labs' profits. One of the most effective anxiolytics and/or analgesics available is placebo. More expensive placebos are more effective. An fws costs $500-700 (plus supplies). I promise you you'll feel better if you give that $$ to your favorite charity, instead
