Abstract
Schwannomatosis patients (SP) suffer from chronic nerve pain that is often inadequately relieved. Scrambler therapy (ST) can relieve neuropathic pain quickly, safely, and inexpensively. We successfully treated a patient who had disabling leg pain with five daily sessions of ST, each for 40 minutes. She had complete relief of pain and hyperalgesia, with return to normal function, by day 5, that has persisted for at least three weeks. This article briefly describes Schwannomatosis, scrambler therapy, and the need for further research to ascertain the best way to use this neuromodulation.Keywords: neurofibromatosis, neuropathic pain, schwannomatosis, neuromodulation, scrambler therapy
