Monarch eTNS is a non-medication prescription device designed for overnight use in children with ADHD ages 7 to 12. The Monarch eTNS System is the first FDA-cleared device for ADHD with proven efficacy in alleviating ADHD symptoms, according to a small study.1The Monarch eTNS (external Trigeminal Nerve Stimulation) System is an electronic device, about the size of a cell phone, that connects to a disposable patch placed on a child’s forehead at bedtime.

Once turned on, the device sends low stimulating pulses to the trigeminal nerve through the patch overnight.
