MONARCH eTNS® System

MONARCH eTNS® System

An innovative, non-medication treatment option for children with ADHD

About the size of a cell phone, the Monarch external trigeminal nerve stimulation (eTNS) device connects to a disposable patch placed on your child’s forehead at bedtime. Once turned on, the device sends low stimulating pulses to the trigeminal nerve through the patch overnight.

How does it work?

• Treatment for ADHD is designed to help refocus the brain, much like glasses are used to help near-sighted children see better. The Monarch eTNS System helps to regulate the brain areas linked to ADHD symptoms via the trigeminal nerve, the body's thickest nerve 
• The trigeminal nerve has branches that terminate close to the skin's surface, just above the eyebrows. This nerve is a significant pathway to critical brain regions associated with attention, mood, and self-control 
• Using mild stimulating pulses delivered to the nerve through the skin, the Monarch eTNS System increases activity in these key brain regions. Brain imaging studies have documented these effects 
• The Monarch eTNS System is convenient and easy to use. Just smooth the disposable patch onto your child’s forehead at bedtime. Turn on and adjust the device for overnight treatment. The pulsing effects are mild and not intrusive. Children have described the stimulation as a tingling sensation on the skin. The treatment works while your child is sleeping. In the morning, remove the patch when your child wakes up
