The NSS-2 Bridge is the first electronic device for opioid withdrawal therapy approved by the FDA. It is an electrical nerve stimulator placed behind the ear. A battery-powered chip emits electrical pulses to stimulate branches of occipital and cranial nerves. These stimulations provide relief from opioid withdrawal. The device can be used for up to five days during acute withdrawal ("NSS-2 Bridge for Opioid Withdrawal", 2018).

The NSS-2 Bridge is a safe and effective therapy for opioid withdrawal that is approved by the FDA. I believe the device is an excellent alternative to medication when trying to treat withdrawal symptoms. The stimulation provided relieves the acute symptoms of opioid withdrawal, which would hopefully allow the patient to successfully complete their drug rehab. The use of the device is one giant step forward in trying to end the opioid epidemic.
