Has anyone tried Scrambler Therapy for neuropathy or for pain?

Saw this on the mayo clinic site. It is an abbreviation for a device that scrambles messages to the brain and interferes with getting neuropathic pain. Has anyone tried it? I do have a pain clinic in Illinois that uses it, but I am wondering if it actually works to stop pain.

@lorirenee1 is this the article you saw on the Mayo Clinic site?

@janetdh, @mikween, and @swiss have mentioned the Scrambler (MC-5A Calmare Therapy) and may have more information.

Here's another article that reviews the device and patient's that have used it.

I have personally tried Scrambler Therapy for my idiopathic neuropathy. I was in pain for 10 years. I spent thousands and have tried many different therapies, but nothing worked longer than a day. The only exception was the Scrambler Therapy.

By the second session, the pins and needles were completely gone. I had a total of 11 sessions and the pain has not returned! My quality of life has returned. I'm more active and happier not being in pain any longer.

I highly recommend this. You will not waste your money nor regret it. Currently, there isn't a cure for Neuropathy. Remember this is not a cure, but it will actually stop your pain!

I had a prelinary evaluation and 1/2 hr treatment in Chandler AZ. I think I saw improvement, but could not follow through because I was headed out of AZ for Summer. Could not find a provider in MT. Unrelated back pain forced me to a chiropractor here in MT for Back pain and his speciality of treating Neuropathy with a: Rebuilder (beefed up tens unit), Red light Therapy, and a host of supplements and office visits. After 4 days uncertain as to results. I posted a longer message on another message board on this Mayo Site.
