Does anybody have experience with SANEXAS for neuropathy?

Does anybody have experience with SANEXAS. It is touted as Electric Cell Signaling Treatment especially for peripheral neuropathy.

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

Yes i had 10 sessions with Sanexas a couple years ago. I have CIPN from chemo in 2008. My pain is mostly in my feet/ tops&bottoms- with numbness, tingling, burning&itching sensations especially at night. 10 sessions -each session about 20 min including B12 shots in each foot prior to attaching electrodes. I found it quite helpful. By the time I completed 1 treatment cycle, the burning&itching sensations were gone and have not returned. That improvement allowed me to sleep through the night. At the time it was covered by Medicare in PA. It is not covered now. I had the option to do another cycle @$125/session. I hope this helps with your decision to try Sanexas. I found it worthwhile.

There is a weekly ad in the Dallas Texas newspaper for a treatment for neuropathy called NeoGen! It speaks of a treatment of “electricity flowing through our nervous system” that is malfunctioning. My deduction is that this machine is very similar to a floor model Tens unity. Snake oil comes from every direction for us neuropathy sufferers!

TENS isn't snake-oil. Have you tried it and are saying it didn't work for you?

Here is the deal and how I see it. If you didn't do some research first you may not have used it to its' max potential. I have tried the drugs and they are awful. This is what works for me and has been for 6 years+/-.

TENS, my friend is how to get immediate and real relief without drugs. They are portable controlled electronic devices with remotes, have two channels (one for two different body treatment locations; both locations can be treated at the same time), can be worn beneath your clothes, slept with, and go about your business with. They also work on a timer, some have select-able timers. The majority are USB rechargeable; no batteries to change. The transducers are reusable if you protect the adhesive surface when not in use. You need to spend (Amazon or eBay) less than $100 to get a good one. It isn't a cure but a sure relief. I suggest you research it on Google. Also Google acupuncture, acupressure, and dermatome charts. A quick tip; get the transducer pads between the spinal nerve root serving the offending nerve ending. Set the current to the point where you are certain you feel it and then back off to one lower-down setting, use it there. A high current setting will cause muscle soreness, due to the pulses that contract the muscles, the higher the current the greater the contraction; you neither want nor need that.
There is a wealth of info to be found on Google for how to use them. Many nights I would get no sleep if I didn't have mine next to the bed available for use.
I know of no other side effects; Check with your doctor before using if you have a pacemaker or other implanted electronic devices.

You need to attempt to understand my post; the post NEVER MENTIONS TENS UNITS.
Buy a Dallas News and look for NeoGen; that’s what I am criticizing.

I did and the NeoGen device is nothing but an expensive modified wired version of the modern pocket TENS devices. I wasn't criticizing you. I wasn't pointing out how valuable TENS is when used correctly.

Has anyone had Sanexas treatment for foot neuropathy? How did it go? I’ve heard Medicare covers most of the cost. True?

jchet,
I was getting shock wave therapy in Wisconsin in 2022 and had some relief but not much. The DC offered Sanexas as a free trial (4 treatments) which I tried and had some good results. The DC indicated that Sanexas was covered by Medicare in Wisconsin in 2020 but not anymore. He said it varies by state Medicare decisions. I moved to Virginia in 2023 where Sanexas was covered by Medicare. The only costs were for transportation. The DC there had scans done and indicated that Sanexas could do no more for my condition and we discontinued the treatment. I have elected to have back surgery later this month to try to prevent the neuropathy from getting worse.

Has anyone who has had Sanexas treatment aware of facilities in NYC that do this treatment?
