Scrambler therapy (sometimes Calmare scramber therapy or Calmare therapy) involves the use of electronic stimulation on the skin with the goal of overwhelming pain information with non-pain information.
It was invented by Giuseppe Marineo at the University of Rome Tor Vergata. A research paper into its effectiveness was published as early as 2000. The device used is a Calmare MC5-A device. It has been FDA-cleared 510(k)-cleared and European CE mark-certified.
Research on the efficacy of scrambler therapy has had mixed results; there is no strong evidence that it is effective in treating neuropathic pain.
