Has anyone tried Scrambler Therapy for neuropathy or for pain?

Posted by wisfloj @wisfloj, May 23, 2019

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.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Neuropathy Support Group.

@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!!

@rivermayaa34, @greenacres and others - I posted this older patient story earlier in the discussion. It did have a video also but looks like the video doesn't work now but the rest of the story and how it helped the patient is there.

There was also a 2020 research paper done that has some data that might be helpful --- Scrambler therapy for chemotherapy neuropathy: a randomized phase II pilot trial: https://mayoclinic.pure.elsevier.com/en/publications/scrambler-therapy-for-chemotherapy-neuropathy-a-randomized-phase-

@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.

I have peripheral neuropathy in my feet, ankles, and calves. It is not related to either diabetes or chemotherapy.
I tried scrambler therapy a few years ago. I undertook 12 treatments.
Unfortunately, it didn't help, and my condition has become significantly worse.
I understand that scrambler therapy is most effective for chemotherapy induced neuropathy.
