Shock-Treatment Tool Becomes Third Device Type Banned By FDA

Executive Summary

The US agency has banned the use of electrical stimulation devices (ESDs) to prevent self-injurious or aggressive behavior. The ban was first recommended at a 2014 FDA panel hearing and is widely supported by the disability community. The move by the agency is rare; it’s only the third time a medical device has been completely blocked from use in the US.
