Calmare® Scrambler Therapy Clinical Trials and Studies

Calmare® Scrambler Therapy is a non-invasive, FDA-cleared treatment designed to alleviate chronic pain by disrupting pain signals through the application of electrical stimulation. Over the past decade, numerous clinical studies and trials have been conducted to evaluate its efficacy, safety, and potential as an alternative to pharmacological pain management. These investigations have explored a variety of chronic pain conditions, including neuropathy, cancer-related pain, and post-surgical pain, providing valuable insights into the therapy’s mechanisms and clinical benefits. Below is a compilation of notable studies and trials that have contributed to the growing body of evidence supporting Calmare® Scrambler Therapy.
