Scrambler therapy (or Calmare scramber therapy or Calmare therapy), like transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), involves the use of an electric current produced by a device to stimulate the nerves for therapeutic purposes. However, there are important distinctions. The device must be used by a trained specialist. There are no known adverse or side effects with normal use.
It was invented by Giuseppe Marineo at the University of Rome Tor Vergata.[1] The first research paper into its effectiveness was in 2000.[2] The device used is a Calmare MC5-A device. It has been FDA-cleared 510(k)-cleared and European CE mark-certified.[3]
This device has been shown to be effective in the treatment of:
- chemotherapy induced peripheral neuropathy[4][5]
- neuropathic pain[6][7]
- cancer pain[4][8][9]
- postherpetic neuralgia[10][11]
Treatment is adminstered as follows:[12]
- mixed or neuropathic pain - 10/12 consecutive treatments of 30 or 45 minutes; once a day for five days a week.
- cancer pain - initial treatment program consisting of 10/12 consecutive treatments of 45 minutes, once a day, and every time the pain reappears. Analgesia on patient request.

Fight or flight
[edit]The most typical reactions to workplace bullying are to do with the survival instinct - “fight or flight” - and these are probably a victim’s healthier responses to bullying. Flight is a legitimate and valid response to bullying. In fact, it is a very common one, especially in organizations in which upper management cannot or will not deal with the bullying. In hard economic times, however, flight may not be an option, and fighting may be your only choice.[1]
Fighting the bullying can require near heroic action, especially if the bullying targets just one or two individuals. It can also be a difficult challenge. There are some times when confrontation is called for. First, there is always a chance that the bully boss is laboring under the impression that this is the way to get things done and does not and does not recognize the havoc being wreaked on subordinates.[2]
