Scrambler Technology is an FDA-approved device that uses electro-analgesia therapy for the noninvasive treatment of chronic neuropathic symptoms, such as pain, tingling, numbness and cold/warm sensation.

“If you can block the ascending pain impulses and enhance the inhibitory system, you can potentially reset the brain so it doesn’t feel chronic pain nearly as badly,” Smith says. “It’s like pressing Control-Alt-Delete about a billion times.”

Exercise therapy is gaining attention because it can effectively relieve pain and improve physical function. In general, exercise training for patients with complex regional pain syndrome not only alleviates pain but also improves physical function and positive mental status.

Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is a disorder of a body region, usually of the distal limbs, which is characterized by pain, swelling, limited range of motion, vasomotor instability, skin changes, and patchy bone demineralization.

Although CRPS was first reported in 1864, it was not until 1971 that CRPS was described in a child. Since the initial pediatric report, CRPS is increasingly recognized in pediatric pain, rheumatology, and neurology clinics

A mismatch between proprioceptive feedback and motor action may induce complex regional pain syndrome. Visual feedback as a substitute for inappropriate proprioceptive feedback may reduce pain. Visual feedback may be achieved with mirror therapy, which was originally used to treat phantom pain.

Fascinating new research, however, is putting forth a potential new way to effectively alleviate chronic pain. Scientists at Johns Hopkins Medicine say their latest work indicates a noninvasive pain treatment called scrambler therapy is capable of yielding significant relief among approximately 80 to 90 percent of chronic pain patients.

When long-lasting pain information loses its protective or informational value and becomes something else, a pathological event itself, greater disorder results. We see its serious consequences (chronic pain, neuralgia, causalgia) in people with indescribable suffering.
