History
The S.C.E.N.A.R., Self-Controlled Energo Neuro Adaptive Regulation, was developed for the Russian space program to overcome the unique problems of space travel,
A Russian team of doctors and scientists, based at Sochi University and led by Alexander Karasev in the late 1970's, developed a method of treatment that was energy efficient, multi-applicable, portable and also non-invasive. They were the first people to achieve repeatable therapeutic treatment using electrical signals to stimulate the immune system.
How it works
The scenar uses biofeedback by stimulating the nervous system, it is able to teach the body to heal itself. The device sends out a series of signals through the skin that measures the response.
Each signal is only sent out when a change, in response to the previous signal, is recorded in the electrical properties of the skin.
Visible responses include reddening of the skin, numbness, stickiness (the device will have the feeling of being magnetically dragged), a change in the numerical readout and an increase in the electronic clattering of the device.
The C-fibres, which comprise 85% of all nerves in the body, react most readily to the electro-stimulation and are responsible for the production of neuropeptides and other regulatory peptides.
SCENAR INFORMATION
Treatment
Patients having Scenar treatment need to take responsibility for their health and are advised to participate actively in the treatment and recovery process.
The chemical compounds, released by the nerves, affect not only the problem areas, but also circulate in the blood treating other areas of the body. This goes some way to explaining how old and often forgotten problems are brought to the surface for treatment.
A chronic problem that the patient has, may take up to 6 weeks treatment, with long-lasting effectiveness. Acute problems may just take one or two treatments.
Studies say, the Scenar proves effective in 80% of all cases, of which full recovery occurs in 2/3rds of them and significant healing in the remainder.
How often will I need treatment?
In order to create a continuous flow of circulating regulative peptides, Scenar action must be given quite often. For any fresh injury or any acute inflammatory process, treatment needs too be intensive. For chronic conditions, treatments are ideally given three times a week initially. As things improve, the frequency can be reduced.
A course of treatments will vary from individual to individual, and takes into account such factors as the stage of the pathological process, the person's age, state of health, and so on.
How does it differ from other therapies?
There are several ways in which it differs from other electrical therapies.
Unlike TENS machines, each impulse is different from the previous one so the body is unable to adapt to the signal.
The Scenar impulse is high amplitude so it stimulates C-fibres
This explains the quick effectiveness of Scenar therapy on the whole body
