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.

Hello @loralei, I combined your discussion with an ongoing discussion on Scrambler therapy for neuropathy pain, https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/calmare-scrambler-therapy-anyone/.

It is a long discussion, but many members have shared their experiences with this treatment for neuropathy pain and whether or not it worked for them.

@loralei - it has been a minute since you posted, how is your husband doing?

Where did you receive your Scrsmbler treatment- I’m going in a week - I have to get help as I can barely work ( I’m on my feet all day long) Non diabetic also and no one can figure it out.

How much are your treatments? I was looking at what the charges were for various clinics in the Atlanta area and all of them looked like they were charging $300+ per session so is it $300 x how many sessions you go to?

So are you saying $250 for 10 treatments??

Would like to know what type of neuropathy you had and total number of treatments and total cost? I have had a bad experience before $$$ and sure don’t want to have it happen again. Thanks!
