Hi @platapuss, welcome. Allow me to help out and post the link I believe you are wanting to share with @faithwalker007 for treating CRPS:
Dr. D'Amato and Calmar Scrambler Therapy:
https://cprcenters.com/about-2/meet-dr-damoto/
Also, Mayo Clinic - Chronic Regional Pain Syndrome:
https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/crps-complex-regional-pain-syndrome/diagnosis-treatment/drc-20371156
And here is a PubMed article on Scrambler for chronic pain:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4973603/
Platypus, how has your sister been managing her chronic pain from CRPS? Is she considering Scrambler therapy?

She has CRPS type 1. We didn’t know if it was type 1 or 2 at the time, we were just researching different therapies. I’ll look for links of the others and edit this post with those.
She’s managing with physical therapy, so far no other therapies or pain meds. She broke her wrist and then CRPS set in 2 months later. Forearm to wrist wouldn't turn, fingers felt like wooden pegs and skin was translucent with minimal pain. It’s been a year slow going working with PT to get back mobility in her hand, still not there yet but improving. She has osteopenia so wanted to avoid rounds of steroid shots which potentially makes yours bones weaker. She lives in London and her Dr. caught the CRPS early and got her on PT right away.
