3. Torpedo Fish for electrical stimulation The electric ray was used well into the 19th century even after the invention of electronic stimulation devices First century writings record placing a live torpedo fish under the feet ofa person suffering from gout to ease the pain There are also reports of placing these fish on people s foreheads to treat headaches Current interest in CES was initiated by Robinovitch who in 1914 made the first claim for electrical treatment ofinsomnia In 1958 the book Electro Sleep reflected the first serious works on CES This book inspired research in Europe and in Eastern Bloc countries as well as in South America Asia and finally the US Because the CES equipment used was bulky inconvenient and unreliable CES like the electric eel was abandoned in favor of drug therapies With the invention of the transistor the 1960s small low power and reliable CES devices were developed By 1975 several companies in the US and Europe were manufacturing CES devices for public use During this time research on CES was quite active and scientific papers were published Most studies to date have shown CES as a reliable method to reduce anxiety and improve cognition in recovering alcoholics Additional studies have shown CES to be an effective tool in reducing anxiety and improving IQ Research to date is quite vague on the effects of using CES at various frequencies citing both low and high frequencies c
