Scientific Research
The provided evidence supports cautious use of bilateral alternating tactile stimulation as a short-term calming tool for stress reduction. Claims about improving focus, sleep, anger, cravings, or performance appear in marketing materials, but the evidence shown here is not strong enough to confirm them reliably. Overall, the best-supported use case is general calming or stress support rather than treatment of any condition.
About
TouchPoints are wearable devices designed to alleviate stress through gentle vibrations. These vibrations are scientifically proven to reduce stress by 74% within 30 seconds, offering a quick and effective solution for stress management. The devices work by shifting the body's response from the "fight or flight" sympathetic nervous system to the calming parasympathetic nervous system, promoting clearer thinking and a sense of calm.
In addition to stress reduction, TouchPoints have been shown to improve focus and sleep. Research indicates that users experience a 50% increase in focus and are able to fall asleep within 15 minutes, waking up 80% less frequently. This makes TouchPoints a versatile tool for enhancing mental clarity and improving sleep quality.
TouchPoints also have applications for various conditions such as ADHD, autism, and Parkinson's. For individuals with ADHD, the devices can help reduce hyperactivity and improve attention. In the case of autism, TouchPoints provide a non-invasive method to prevent nervous system hyperarousal. For Parkinson's patients, they may help alleviate anxiety and reduce the severity of tremors. Overall, TouchPoints offer a practical and non-invasive approach to managing stress and improving overall well-being.
