Box 457 St. James, New York 11780 Phone: 516 4442929 516 862-6651 September 21’ 1993 Fax: 516 862-8604 Mr. Marty Madison Quest Publishing Co. Brea CA 92621 Dear Mr. Madison, Thank you for sending me the DHEW announcement in the Federal Register regarding the FDA classification of Cranial Electrotherapy Stimulators. Yes, these devices are the same as we assessed in the early 19605. It was the reports of RB. Smith in the 19805 that led the US. Army physicians to examine the advisability of reimbursing CHAMPUS personnel for such treatments that led to my review. My library contains two volumes which cite such research. Reynolds DV, Sjoberg AE (Eds): Neuroelectric Research: Electroprosthesis, Electroanesthesia and Nonconvulsive Electrotherapy. C.C Thomas, Springfield, 1971, 466 pp. Wulfsohn NL, Sances A. (Eds): The Nervous System and Electric Currents, Plenum Press, New York, 1971, 171 pp. Another set of data can be found in the literature of convulsive therapy under the term 'subconvulsive shock' or 'nonconvulsiveelectric stimulation' or 'electrosleep'. A good source for such experience is to be found in two old texts: Alexander L: Treatment ofMental Disorder. W.B. Saunders, Philadelphia, 1953, 507 pp. Kalinowsky L, Hoch P: Somatic Treatments in Psychiatry, Grune & Stratton, New York, 1961 [or earlier editions]. I would like to read your report when it is published. Thank you for keeping me informed.
