A behavioural therapy electrical stimulation system is a collection of components used to deliver mild, uncomfortable electrical pulses to a patient. These devices are primarily utilized in aversion therapy to help modify harmful or unwanted habits, such as self-injury, obsessive-compulsive behaviors, or substance dependency.
These systems are typically managed by clinical professionals during therapy sessions or as part of a structured home-based treatment program. Some configurations may also incorporate auditory stimuli alongside electrical impulses to reinforce the conditioning process.
