Simple answers to frequent questions

Calmare® Scrambler Therapy, is a non-invasive medical treatment that uses a device called a scrambler to relieve chronic pain. It is used for the management of neuropathic pain, which is caused by damage or malfunctioning of the nervous system.

The scrambler therapy device works by sending mild electrical impulses through electrodes placed on the skin in the area where the patient is experiencing pain. These impulses are intended to override or "scramble" the pain signals being sent by the nerves to the brain. The device adjusts the frequency, amplitude, and other characteristics of the electrical impulses to individualize the treatment according to each patient's pain profile.

The therapy aims to retrain the patient's perception of pain by replacing the pain signals with non-painful sensations. It is believed that the treatment helps to "reset" the nerves and restore normal signaling patterns, reducing or eliminating pain.

Calmare® Scrambler Therapy is considered safe when performed by trained healthcare professionals. It is a non-invasive procedure that does not involve the use of drugs or surgery, which reduces the risk of complications associated with those interventions.

The duration of Calmare® Scrambler Therapy can vary depending on several factors, including the individual patient, the specific pain condition being treated, and the treatment plan developed by the healthcare provider. Generally, a course of scrambler therapy consists of multiple treatment sessions over a period of several weeks.

Each treatment session typically lasts between 30 minutes to one hour. The total number of sessions can range from 10 to 15, although this can vary based on the individual's response to treatment and the severity of the pain.

Yes, Calmare® Scrambler Therapy has received clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of chronic neuropathic pain. The specific device used in scrambler therapy, known as the Calmare® Pain Therapy Device, obtained FDA clearance 2019.

Clearance by the FDA means that the device has demonstrated safety and effectiveness for its intended use based on the available scientific evidence and regulatory requirements. The FDA clearance provides assurance that the device meets certain standards and can be used as a medical treatment in the United States.

Calmare® Scrambler Therapy is generally considered safe and well-tolerated. There are no known side effects.

Calmare® Scrambler Therapy and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) units both involve the use of electrical stimulation for pain management, but they differ in their mechanisms of action and treatment approach.

Calmare® Scrambler Therapy affects the C fibers or pain fibers, unlike conventional electro-analgesia like TENs units affects the A-beta fibers.

Current stimulation is very low at peaks of 5.5 mA where TENs Unit is very high at 80-120Hz.

Calmare® Scrambler Therapy has shown potential effectiveness in managing chronic neuropathic pain, pain lasting more thand 3 monthsin various individuals. It may be considered as a treatment option for those who have experienced inadequate pain relief from conventional therapies or who are seeking non-invasive alternatives to manage their pain.

Calmare® Scrambler Therapy has been used in the management of several chronic pain conditions.

Neuropathic pain is described as burning, electric and is associated with symptoms such as tingling, pins and needles, numbness and itching. You may have increased sensitivity to touch in the area.
