Discover affordable at-home treatment with Flow.
Flow is a treatment for depression delivered via a wireless headset using Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS).
Advances in technology have allowed this device to be developed as a convenient at home treatment at a far lower cost than other neurostimulation treatments (such as rTMS).
Flow uses a very weak electrical current to stimulate and strengthen activity in the Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex area of the brain which tends to be less active when depressed. A stimulation session takes 30 minutes and can be done whilst reading, relaxing, watching TV, or working on a computer. The headset is activated via the user-friendly Flow app on a phone or tablet. The Flow app also provides additional support with managing depressive symptoms via useful educational content.
Use of a Flow headset can provide safe and effective treatment for depression for many people.
Flow also has the advantage of having minimal side effects. There is robust evidence in terms of Flow’s clinical effectiveness in treating depression and it has been recently used in several NHS trials with promising results. For more information see https://www.flowneuroscience.com/results-reviews/
Flow treatment can be combined with appropriate medication and/or therapy to optimise treatment outcomes for many people.
Evidence
Evidence shows that patients can derive greater benefit from Flow being used in a personalised way with clinician monitoring, support, according to their needs as part of a wider support package, often in combination with existing medication and/or therapy. We advise that patients seek specialist advice when using Flow and to not alter other medications or treatments without advice and support from their GP.
