How FDA-cleared Scrambler Therapy Is Helping Cancer Survivors Overcome Hands & Feet Nerve Pain
By Dr. Jason Cooney, DC, Clinical Director, Scrambler Therapy NJ USA
When Chemotherapy Ends but the Nerve Pain Doesn’t
Many people assume that once chemotherapy is over, their bodies will steadily heal. For thousands of cancer survivors, however, the pain doesn’t stop when treatment ends.
Tingling, burning, and numbness in the hands and feet—known as chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN)—can persist for months or even years after their last infusion.
Traditional medications such as gabapentin or duloxetine may provide only partial relief and often come with side effects.
That’s why growing attention has turned to Scrambler Therapy, a noninvasive, drug-free treatment that is FDA-cleared specifically to treat CIPN.
How Scrambler Therapy Works
Scrambler Therapy uses electrodes placed on the skin near—but not directly on—the painful area. These electrodes send mild electrical signals that “retrain” the brain and nervous system to interpret pain messages as non-pain information.
Over a series of daily treatments, this neuro-retraining process can help reduce or even eliminate the chronic pain signals caused by nerve damage from chemotherapy.
As a medication-free, non-invasive therapy, it offers new hope to patients who cannot (or will not) use additional pain medication or invasive interventions.

At Scrambler Therapy NJ USA, our team has performed this pain management alternative since 2011, making us one of the most experienced centers in the US.
Many other clinics offering this technology are relatively new to the field, whereas our practice has spent more than a decade refining patient selection and treatment protocols to achieve the best outcomes.
Backed by Emerging Clinical Evidence
Leading cancer centers are taking notice. In a 2025 published review from MD Anderson Cancer Center, researchers described Scrambler Therapy as “a promising, noninvasive, non-pharmacological treatment for CIPN that warrants further study.”
This growing body of research echoes what we’ve seen firsthand in our clinic—patients reporting significant, sustained pain reduction, often after years of frustration with other options.
