Hello @docsokgmailcom, Welcome to Connect. Thank you for the private message. I thought I would reply to your private message in this discussion - Has anyone tried Scrambler Therapy for neuropathy or for pain? so that you can read what other members have shared about the Calmare Therapy often called the "Scrambler". You mentioned you are having difficulty reaching anyone at Mayo to make inquiries about scheduling and costs of the Scrambler treatment.

This information is from 2016 so may not be correct - "The cost can run anywhere between $200 and $500 per session, and up to 10 sessions may be recommended. This is less expensive than some other procedures and therapies employed for chronic pain, such as spinal cord stimulators.

Also, I'm not sure Mayo Clinic offers Calmare Scrambler Therapy any more. I was not able to find any current information on availability but that doesn't mean they do not provide this treatment. Your best source would be to call one of the Mayo Clinic locations which I'm guessing you have already tried which is why you are having difficulty finding information. The contact information for Minnesota, Arizona and Florida can be found here http://mayocl.in/1mtmR63.

Have you called one of the Mayo Clinic locations and asked about Scrambler therapy?

John, thank you for your time and help. I have emailed Dr. Loprinzi re the Scrambler treatment and he referred me to a doctor in private practice who has offices in RI and FL (who I would prefer not to see). Maybe this was an indication that Mayo no longer does this treatment. Have made many calls to Rochester but unable to get to the right person. Do you have some special connection there to help get the # of the person who can answer my questions? DS
