– Chronic pain leads to fatigue, a weakened immune system and decreased mobility, worse yet, powerful narcotics are often prescribed for patients, leading to more problems. But now, there is hope with non-invasive Scrambler therapy.
Kelly Goodwin suffers from complex regional pain syndrome, triggered by a foot biopsy five years ago.“I couldn’t even put a sock on, the pain was so bad. The pain doctors had me on very, very high doses of, like, morphine, methadone, fentanyl, and nothing really helped,” Goodwin recalled.“You’ve got these chronic pain signals going up your spine to your brain, to the pain centers on either side, and that redistributes the blood flow. So, these areas get too active,” said Dr.
Each treatment takes 30 to 45 minutes per day, and it constantly shifts signals so the brain can’t get used to it. Best of all, it does not hurt.It does it all by fooling the brain.And she has much more opportunity to spend precious time with her young son. Chronic pain stems from pain impulses from damaged nerves and the failure of the inhibitory cells to block those pain signals.
Smith, who just authored a study on Scrambler therapy, says it’s like a hard “reset” of the brain’s signals to eliminate the pain -- like pressing “control, alt, delete” a thousand times.
