The gentleman told me that “ my wife had neuropathic pain for twelve years. Dr Barchetta was recommended to her by Professor Marineo. I have, however, been contacted recently a gentleman whose wife travelled from the UK to undergo the treatment at the European Hospital in Rome under Dr Riccardo Barchetta. Scrambler Therapy® is a licensed technology and that may explain why it remains relatively unknown, particularly in the UK where there do not seem to be any licensed practitioners. Larger, randomized studies are required to further evaluate the efficacy of this approach.” “ The positive findings from preliminary studies with Scrambler Therapy support that this device provides benefit for patients with refractory pain syndromes. However, a review of preliminary studies of the device published in 2016 concluded that: There seems to be very little independent published research on the device. Low Back Pain Is there any independent research? They further state that conditions where the device may prove beneficial include: Immediate analgesic efficacy during the treatment is a constant factor regardless of pathology and pain intensity.” Other variables that influence the treatment outcome are pharmaceutical interactions. In most cases of benign pain one treatment cycle is enough to produce pain relief for at least two months, but can even exceed 12 months if neuropathic damage is limited (mono-radicular) or the pathology has no evolution feature. “ Short and long term effects of a single treatment cycle depend on the type of pathology and other variables. This is true even in cases where pain is of high intensity and non responsive or poorly responsive to opioids or other electro-analgesia devices such as TENS or implanted devices.”

“ In just a couple of seconds the pain perception completely disappears.

Scrambler Therapy is a stand-alone medical electro-analgesia device, and does not require combinations with other analgesic therapies.” The Scrambler Therapy device has been used to successfully treat thousands of patients worldwide, where it has been shown to be effective in treating neuropathic and oncologic pain. “ avoids harmful, potentially fatal, adverse side effects. On it’s website, Delta states that treatment with the device:

It is certified for use in both the USA (where it is known as Calmare® Therapy) and Europe “ for the non-invasive treatment of chronic neuropathic and oncologic pain.” The Scrambler Therapy® device was developed in Italy by Professor Giuseppe Marineo of the Tor Vergata University in Rome and Founding President of Delta Research and Development. Back in 2015, I published a short piece on Calmare® or Scrambler Therapy®, principally requesting feedback from anybody who had received treatment with the device.ĭespite having been around for a number of years, it seems that information on this treatment is not as widely disseminated as other forms of treatment for chronic pain, although one practitioner, Dr Cooney from New Jersey, has for some years been a tremendous advocate for the treatment.
