What is Craverelief?
Craverelief is a non-drug approach to smoking craving reduction. It uses the Nuraleve SmartStim M1000, a transcranial direct current stimulation device.
How does it work?
Craverelief™ employs the latest advances in neuromodulation technology. It applies a targeted weak electrical current to the scalp to stimulate a region of the brain responsible for cravings. Craverelief ™ is non-invasive, and has been shown to be safe in hundreds of studies looking into a variety of conditions. Consecutive daily sessions offer the best results.
How is Craverelief different?
Over time, cravings cause structural and chemical changes in the brain. Craverelief gently stimulates specific regions of the brain, helping to reduce the cravings.
What to expect from your Craverelief treatment
Craverelief™ is a 10-day program that takes only 20 minutes of therapy each day, given over 2 to 4 weeks. The potential side effects of Craverelief™ are mild and transient. They include itching, burning sensation, redness or skin irritation on the scalp at the stimulation site, and typically dissipate after the first minute of treatment. Other temporary mild side effects may include:
- Drowsiness
- Headache
- Concentration problems
- Mood changes
- Nausea
