Has anyone tried Scrambler Therapy for neuropathy or for pain?
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.

Do you mean Sanexas? It also did very little for me (Neuropathy in both feet) and I has also had about 19 treatments. PS I live in Brooklyn, do you?
II had 24 treatments on my back for neuropathy in legs caused by failed lumbar spine surgery. Machine was called Sanexas and treatment cell signaling. No improvement in my symptoms. Seems to me to be targeted to diabetic and chemo-caused neuropathy

1 ReactionHello @lisagraber. I wanted to connect you with others who have been discussing Scrambler Therapy already in a previous discussion so you will notice I have moved your post. Members like @bwin11 @julkun and @rivermaya34 may have some information they can share with you as you explore this therapy for your pain.
How long have you been experiencing chronic pain?

2 Reactions@lisagraber Hey there, I do have CRPS and Allodynia pretty bad. I'm actually meeting with a new Dr tomorrow to discuss new pain management options i.e. scrambler etc. It was recommended to me by my current neurologist, but I have not physically tried it out yet. I believe you go for a series of sessions, yes. I hope to though!! Chronic pain / hypersensitivity are no joke!! Here is a link with some more info :

This is the facility I am going to tomorrow, actually (Neurology dept first). I also pray that you get relief if you are the one suffering! I literally feel your pain... :/

1 Reaction@rivermaya34 and @lisagraber The discussions and interest in Scrambler therapy is a recurring theme on this site however, I'm not sure there's been a response from anyone who has actually done it. So, please keep us posted on your results with the Scrambler therapy as many people who visit this site will be interested. From what I've read a large component of the Scrambler is the knowledge of the person who is administering it. Wishing you both to be free from pain and suffering.

1 ReactionHi, Neuropathy in my feet for years. Gabapentin doesn't really do the trick. What is scrambler therapy. I tried so many things and nothing works. Jules
Thank you, friend. I want to know who’s tried it? Where your pain is. Please take care. I pray for everyone to have relief from their suffering, ASAP!!
Hi and thank you fir the helpful information. I had chronic pain with allodynia for over4 years. Mine is in my upper right and lower body. What about you? How long have you had yours, and if you don’t mind, where is do you have it? I pray for you, everything else, and myself to get relief. I know that everyone is different, and so is their p…! I wish that we had more trials, more treatments that worked, educated Drs., and relief for everyone. Thank you for taking the time to help!
@greenacres Yes, you are correct, as I have yet to see where anyone's who's been thru it has posted. I don't even know if it's something that's offered elsewhere, or by a diff name etc. Today's appt went well tho, A LOT of questions from two Drs for two hours!! They are choosing to seek other options before entertaining Scrambler therapy, so I can't speak for it yet. Maybe one day tho! *fingers crossed* Thank you!!
