What is Neuropathic Pain?
Neuropathic pain is a chronic pain condition caused by damage or dysfunction in the nervous system. It is often described as a burning, shooting, stabbing, or electric shock type pain. Unlike acute pain, which is a normal sensation that warns us of injury, neuropathic pain can persist even after the initial injury has healed. It can be caused by various conditions, including diabetes, viral infections, trauma, and certain medical treatments like chemotherapy.
How Does it Work?
Scrambler Therapy’s mechanism of action is based on the concept of “information control”. It works by transmitting “scrambled” artificial waveforms generated by the Scrambler Device that are assembled into dynamic strings of information. These waveforms are calibrated to synchronize with surface receptors on C-fibers, which are nerve fibers responsible for transmitting pain signals. By modifying the sensitivity of these receptors, Scrambler Therapy aims to convert endogenous pain information into synthetic “non-pain” information. Over time, the new “non-pain” information is recognized by the brain as the new default signal rather than the pain. This process of teaching the brain new information is known as neuroplasticity and works just like teaching your brain a new language. A “non-painful” one!
The device generates 256 types of dynamically assembled and modulated strings of information using 16 different synthetic action potentials. These action potentials are designed to mimic the natural electrical signals of the nervous system, but they are modified to convey non-painful information.
The Scrambler Therapy device has four main variables that it modifies dynamically:
- 16 different synthetic action potentials: These are the building blocks of the “scrambled” information.
- Packet frequency (43-52 Hz): This refers to the frequency at which the packets of action potentials are delivered.
- Packet time duration (0.7-10 seconds): This is the duration of each packet of action potentials.
- Amplitude of modulation: This refers to the variation in the strength of the electrical signals.
The electrical stimulation intensity of Scrambler Therapy ranges from 10 to 70, but the average amperage does not exceed 5.5 mA even at the highest setting. This is much lower than the intensity used in conventional TENS therapy (30-150 mA).
What is Scrambler Therapy?
Scrambler Therapy is a revolutionary approach to pain management that uses a unique technology to “scramble” pain signals before they reach the brain. It involves the application of electrodes to the skin, delivering precisely modulated electrical signals that modify the way the brain perceives pain. Essentially, it “re-educates” the nervous system, replacing pain signals with non-pain signals.
How Does it Work?
The Scrambler Therapy electro-analgesic device utilizes an advanced algorithm that produces a synthetic “no-pain” signal that is transmitted through healthy nerve tissue proximal to the nerve damage/pain to allow the central nervous system and brain to receive a normal signal rather than the previous painful signal. The repetition of this therapy over the course of the treatment re-modulates and trains the neuroplasticity of the brain for long term improvement.
