SCENAR Neurofeedback Therapy
Innovative Pain Relief & Tissue Recovery Treatment
SCENAR neurofeedback is an advanced therapeutic method that supports pain relief, tissue regeneration, and the activation of the body’s natural defense and healing systems. Developed by Dr. Alena Plieninger, this method is widely used for both acute and chronic pain, as well as for post-injury recovery.
This therapy uses electrical pulses that dynamically adapt to the body’s responses, providing fast and lasting pain relief while accelerating healing (Mann et al., 2017).
How SCENAR Neurofeedback Works
The SCENAR device emits electrical impulses similar to the body’s own nerve signals. These impulses adapt in real time based on the feedback received from the skin, creating a personalized and natural response—something that sets SCENAR apart from traditional devices like TENS (Mann et al., 2017).
Benefits of SCENAR Therapy
SCENAR offers a broad range of benefits, including pain management and functional recovery:
Relief from Acute & Chronic Pain
Rapid pain intensity reduction
Activation of the body’s self-healing processes
Improved blood circulation and neurological function (Plieninger, 2009)
Tissue Regeneration & Repair
Stimulates the release of neuropeptides to regenerate damaged tissues
Supports recovery of muscles, tendons, and ligaments
Ideal for post-surgical recovery and injury rehabilitation (Mann et al., 2017)
Effective for a Range of Conditions
Musculoskeletal pain & injuries (e.g. neck pain, lower back pain, sciatica, arthritis)
Neuropathic pain (e.g. migraines, neuralgia, chronic pain syndrome)
Sports injuries & repetitive strain
Post-operative healing and inflammation reduction (Plieninger, 2009)
Dynamic, Personalized Therapy
The treatment is highly personalized, adjusting in real time to your body’s response.
It activates the nervous system in a controlled and gentle manner, helping your body naturally regulate pain and inflammation.
What to Expect During SCENAR Therapy
Session Duration: 30 to 60 minutes
Acute Conditions: 1–5 sessions may be sufficient
Chronic Conditions: Typically 5–10 sessions are recommended for long-term improvement
Noticeable Improvement: Many patients feel better after the very first session
Integration with NMTA® (NeuroMetabolic & Typological Nutrition Analysis)
SCENAR therapy works in harmony with NMTA®, a holistic method that addresses individual nutritional and metabolic needs. Together, they provide a complete approach to healing and recovery by optimizing the body’s own biological mechanisms (Bette Jacobs et al., 2015).
Η μέθοδος με τα «μαγικά γάντια» ή γάντια ηλεκτροδίων είναι μια καινοτόμος θεραπεία που συνδυάζει την τεχνολογία του SCENAR με τη χρήση ηλεκτροδίων σε ειδικά γάντια. Η θεραπεία αυτή είναι ανώδυνη και έχει άμεσα αποτελέσματα, με τους ασθενείς να αισθάνονται ανακούφιση και χαλάρωση από την πρώτη κιόλας συνεδρία.
Ο λόγος για τον οποίο τα γάντια αυτά θεωρούνται «μαγικά» είναι ότι προσφέρουν άμεση ανακούφιση από μυϊκή ένταση, πιασίματα, πόνους και οιδήματα χωρίς την ανάγκη χρήσης φαρμάκων ή άλλων επεμβατικών μεθόδων (Genuis et al., 2011).
SCENAR Electrode Gloves Therapy
Gentle Relief for Hands, Joints, and Deep Tissue Discomfort
The “Magic Gloves” are specialized electrode gloves used in combination with the SCENAR device. They deliver therapeutic pulses through the skin, offering immediate relief from:
Muscle tension
Swelling
Joint pain
Poor circulation
Sports injuries
Chronic conditions like arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, scoliosis, and more (Genuis et al., 2011)
How the SCENAR Gloves Work
The electrode gloves connect to the SCENAR device and transmit low-intensity electric pulses directly to the tissues. These pulses improve blood flow, reduce muscular tension, and stimulate tissue regeneration (Plieninger, 2009; Huang et al., 2009).
Benefits of SCENAR with Electrode Gloves
Instant pain relief and deep relaxation
Effective in managing muscle stiffness, tension, and inflammation
Boosts lymphatic circulation and immune response
Non-invasive and completely painless
Ideal for Treating:
Neck stiffness & frozen shoulder
Carpal tunnel syndrome
Tennis/golfer’s elbow
Repetitive strain injuries
Post-surgical inflammation and swelling
Jaw tension & TMJ disorders
Sports recovery and full-body rejuvenation
Session Frequency & Recommendations
Frequency: Typically 1–2 times per week
Best results occur with regular, consistent treatment
Many patients feel a sense of “lightness” and “well-being” after just one session
SCENAR & NMTA®: A Holistic Synergy
When combined with NMTA®, the SCENAR method becomes even more powerful. NMTA® evaluates your biochemical and nutritional profile, creating a personalized plan to support recovery and metabolic balance.
Together, they deliver:
- Pain relief
- Reduced inflammation
- Boosted metabolic function
- Enhanced circulation and tissue regeneration (Ernst, 2009)
