Scrambler Therapy: A New Approach to Pain Relief Scrambler Therapy is a non-invasive, drug-free treatment that uses electrical signals to modulate pain perception. It involves the application of electrodes to the skin, which deliver precisely calibrated electrical signals to the brain. These signals "scramble" the abnormal pain messages, replacing them with non-painful sensations. The FDA approved Scrambler Therapy in 2009 for the treatment of neuropathic pain.
Since then, it has been adopted by leading medical institutions across the United States, including Johns Hopkins University, Mayo Clinic, MD Anderson, UCLA, and the Cleve- land Clinic. During a Scrambler Therapy session, patients typically experience a tingling or vibrating sensation in the treated area. The treatment is generally well-tolerat- ed, with minimal side effects. Scrambler Therapy has shown promising results in treating various neuropathic pain conditions, including: • Peripheral neuropathy (diabetic neuropathy, post-herpetic neuralgia, etc.) • Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) • Cancer pain
• Post-surgical pain • Endometriosis pain • Phantom Limb Pain
