These waveforms are calibrated to synchro- nize with surface receptors on C-fibers, which are nerve fibers responsible for trans- mitting pain signals. By modifying the sensi- tivity of these receptors, Scrambler Therapy aims to convert endogenous pain informa- tion into synthetic "non-pain" information. Over time, the new “non-pain” information is recognized by the brain as the new default signal rather than the pain. This process of teaching the brain new informa- tion is known as neuroplasticity and works just like teaching your brain a new language. A “non-painful” one! The device generates 256 types of dynami- cally assembled and modulated strings of information using 16 different synthetic action potentials. These action potentials are designed to mimic the natural electrical signals of the nervous system, but they are modified to convey non-painful information.
Mechanism of Action
Scrambler Therapy's mecha- nism of action is based on the concept of "information control". It works by trans- mitting "scrambled" artificial waveforms generated by the Scrambler Device that are assembled into dynamic strings of information.
