The Fisher Wallace Stimulator is basically an electroshock device. It has not been approved by the FDA under current standards. It has received 'grandfather' approval based on similar devices that predate FDA approval requirements.

I take exception to companies that hide behind this FDA loophole. They make fabulous claims but have never submitted their clinical trials for proper FDA approval.

I am not saying it does not work. That is a questionable issue.

There are many medical devices like this that are cleared because they claim the device creates no health risk.

The price 'starts at $595' with no information as to what it actually costs. The refund program is questionable. The buyer gets stuck with about $100 or more not refunded.

So, as the saying goes caveat emptor, buyer beware.

This type of device can be helpful with pain conditions. The other issues are questionable.
