SCRAMBLER THERAPY ON PBS
Important Discussion by Dr. Tom Smith (Johns Hopkins) about ST, together with a patient treated by Dr. Charles Loprinzi (Mayo Clinic) explaining her incredible results from Scrambler Therapy
Scrambler Therapy addresses chronic neuropathic pain by changing how pain signals are processed by the nervous system, rather than masking symptoms with medication.
Targeted nerve signal retraining
Each treatment is adjusted in real time based on patient response, allowing the nervous system to relearn non-pain signaling patterns over a structured course of care.
Relief without drugs or surgery
Scrambler Therapy is non-invasive, requires no anesthesia, and avoids opioids or long-term medication while supporting meaningful and sustained pain relief.
Real-world outcomes in complex pain cases

New Publication on Scrambler Therapy
The New England Journal of Medicine, the most prestigious medical journal in this country, recently published a very positive article explaining that in several clinical trials on Scrambler Therapy, ST drastically reduced chronic neuropathic pain in patients with severe chronic pain caused by cancer and many other serious medical disorders. The publication was authored by Drs. Thomas J. Smith + Eric J. Wang of Johns Hopkins and Dr. Charles L. Loprinzi of The Mayo Clinic. Dr. D’Amato has been collaborating with both Dr. Smith and Dr. Loprinzi for over 10 years in the use and application of Calmare (TM) Pain Relief Therapy (Scrambler Therapy)
Care at Calmar begins with an initial consultation to determine whether Scrambler Therapy is appropriate for your condition. If you are a candidate, treatment typically consists of a structured series of sessions delivered over a short period of time, with progress evaluated throughout.
Patients may begin by requesting more information or by scheduling their first appointment with our clinical team.
