No. Two completely different items. SCS sends electrical impulses to an implanted electrode/paddle in the intrathecal space. Scrambler uses electrodes that are attached to various spots on your skin. Electrical impulses are sent to the electrodes which are designed to turn pain signals into non-pain signals.
