BECURIE Device |
BeCurie generates ultra-low frequency magneto-electric waves within the range between 1 milli Gauss to 10 milli Gauss, very similar to the electrical waves generated in the brain under harmonic state (unagitated state). The device is programmed to generate variable magnetic fields based on the therapeutic indication. This study is specific to the program meant to tackle stress and anxiety (10 mG). This device is connected to the smartphone via Bluetooth and android application to monitor the usage and compliance. This is a Observational randomised double blind placebo controlled trial as approved by the ethics committee of Yashoda Hospital
The duration of the study will be 3 months where the subject will wear the device for the entire duration of the study (as per the protocol approved by ethics committee). Becurie Device generates headphones equivalent weak magnetic field around 10 milli Gauss. Not considered as a regulated device under current medical device regulations. |

Brief Summary
|
Occasional anxiety is an expected part of life. But anxiety disorders involve more than temporary worry or fear. The symptoms can interfere with daily activities such as job performance, school work, and relationships. Low frequency magneto-electric field exposure studies have shown some promising results in supporting/treating brain related illnesses in the recent years with little to no side effects, recorded till date. This particular study is focussed to evaluate the efficacy of Becurie device (generates ultra-low magneto-electric waves with 10 milli Gauss), in improving the symptoms of Stress and Anxiety in participants, thereby improving the quality of life. |
