The recent EMPOWER clinical trial results demonstrate Flow is effective and superior to the sham treatment1. This 10-week double-blind placebo-controlled randomised study reviewed the use of Flow compared to placebo across 173 adult participants diagnosed with unipolar depression (moderate to severe). Real-world data2 and various ongoing pilots3 show similar results.
The EMPOWER trial also highlighted a potential amplification when Flow was used in combination with an antidepressant. This impact has also been reported in real-world cases.

What Clinicians say
Having used Flow with several patients over the past few months, I am very impressed with having this as an option to offer, with the responses I am seeing, and how patient-friendly the treatment/technology is. I think this is a real breakthrough moment in a speciality where so many of our medications can cause significant side effects, and therapy is not a "quick fix".

We are seeing rapid improvements in patients who have been struggling with severe depressive symptoms for many years, and it is allowing us to treat more patients at home in a far better environment to promote recovery in their mental health journey.

I use Flow with my clients who are stuck. Flow enables them to move forward and out of the loop of helplessness. They open up and see things they couldn't before. When they open up, they are more engaged in therapy.
David O’Farrell
Psychotherapist and Director at Mind & Body Solutions
Flow has received overwhelmingly positive feedback from our patients, who have reported improvements in their emotional well-being, increased energy levels, and overall functioning. Patients experience minimal discomfort or side effects during its use. Some patients have come off their antidepressants as a result of using Flow.

The Flow application is easy to use as is the headset, the treatment can be conducted from home and patients find this a very useful treatment……The use of neuromodulation techniques such as tDCS and TMS provide an alternative and effective treatment for that group of patients who are very difficult to manage with medication.

Flow's exciting and encouraging data raise the prospect of a real advance in the treatment of depression...a helpful intervention for many people suffering from major depression.
Dr. Allan Young
Chair of Mood Disorders, King's College London
Having been used to offering rTMS to patients as a last resort, it is very liberating to be able to offer Flow as one of several initial treatment choices. Patients find it very easy to use and I love the fact that I can monitor their use using a validated scale Regarding the Flow RCT: These results are really exciting and support the clinical experience I have gained with Flow. Flow is hugely popular with patients and many are happy to use it when given the choice between it and another antidepressant.
