Has anyone tried Scrambler Therapy for neuropathy or for pain?

I’ve lived with chronic upper legs pain for 40+ years. I recently had a peripheral nerve device (NALU) implanted in my lower abdomen.
It’s an internal “tens unit” which sends the same stimuli to the brain as the Scrambler does. My device works. I’ve cut my meds in half after 2 years and I only use the device if the pain starts up. It’s miracle I never thought possible.
I’m very interested in the Scrambler and will ask my pain specialist what he thinks. Medicare covered my implant btw.

@tidbiddle Scrambler Therapy does not require surgical implantation. It takes about two weeks to get complete pain relief for many patients. The relief is long-lasting, sometimes permanent. It costs about $3000 for a course of treatment compared to tens of thousands for surgical implantation of a device. It is safe and risk free, compared to the significant risks of surgically implanted devices. Unfortunately, insurance would rather pay more for something less effective and more risky.
