Has anyone tried Scrambler Therapy for neuropathy or for pain?

Posted by wisfloj @wisfloj, May 23, 2019

I have read about this device and I’m hoping someone can attest to its effectiveness for idiopathic neuropathy. I've read success stories and information online. Apparently insurance does not cover treatments, to the tune of $250 for the customary recommended 10 consecutive weekdays.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Neuropathy Support Group.

I am 84 years old and have Neuropathy and recently finished 12 treatments. My pain is gone. It was Scrambler. I don't know if this would work for you. I used Radiant Pain Centr. 503-379-0790. They should help. Good Luck!

Welcome @ddowney14, Here are a couple of links to explain Scrambler Therapy that were shared earlier in this discussion and hopefully provide information to help you understand the treatment.

I'm going to check that out. I have wired to TENS for the last couple of years and my problem seems to be getting worse. Thanks for the reply.

I have had Calmare treatment with good success. Unfortunately it is expensive and not covered by insurance but it has given me my life back. I will need to go back for booster treatments.
