We are one of the only endocrinology practices on Long Island that offers scrambler therapy. While proven to help treat the symptoms of diabetic neuropathy, the scrambler device helps treat almost all types of chronic neuropathic pain, including migraine headaches.
What Is Scrambler Therapy?
If you have experienced diabetes-related pain, then you are aware of how unresponsive it can be to traditional treatment methods. Scrambler therapy stimulates areas of pain with safe electrical pulses, targeting the nerve fibers that carry pain signals to your brain. This process disrupts the pain, mitigating your symptoms safely.
Pain Relief Backed by Scientific Data
Many patients with Diabetes suffer from numbness, tingling, and pain in their extremities and are usually treated with oral medications like sumatriptan and even opioids. A new review paper co-authored by two Johns Hopkins pain experts suggests that scrambler therapy can yield significant relief for approximately 80% – 90% of patients with chronic pain, and it may be more effective than transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS).

Why is a Scrambler Incorporated into an Endocrine Practice?
More and more disorders of Insulin resistance are being viewed holistically. Pain plays a large role in increasing insulin resistance.
The longer you spend in pain, the longer your heart and veins are under stress. Pain affects your blood pressure, which can lead to hypertension, heart attack, and stroke by increasing risk through insulin resistance.
Pain causes severe hormonal problems, but there is a growing literature that shows it increases insulin resistance which accelerates risk for diabetes, impacts hormonal erectile dysfunction, and increases cortisol and adrenaline.
Pain may cause loss of memory, attention, and other cognitive functions. Chronic pain may cause structural changes to the brain, which may be improved with a scrambler to reduce pain.
Scrambler is FDA-approved for supervised use in the USA and may, WITHOUT DRUGS, reduce or alleviate pain, including Migraine.
