Call for input regarding microcurrent treatment for anxiety, depression, and sleep problems for the “New Methods” framework in Norway

Norway has a national system for the introduction of new health technologies within the specialist health service (“New Methods” framework) through either a national or hospital-based health technology assessment. This framework is mandatory for all innovations before being funded.

In May 2023, Ordering Forum for the “New Methods” framework invited interested parties regarding microcurrent treatment for anxiety, depression, and sleep problems (e.g., Alpha-Stim cranial electrotherapy stimulation). Information shall be submitted no later than August 8, 2023. Ordering Forum will be held on August 28, 2023, to decide whether the method will undergo evaluation at the national level.
