SCENAR
technology and therapy
Vincent Bowyer et al - 10 March 2011
30 years ago a group of Russian scientists, engineers and physicians, commenced development work on the concept of
Scenar invented by Alexander Karasev. They set themselves the task to design a non-invasive, portable treatment
device, perhaps even suitable to accompany cosmonauts into space. Following extensive clinical and technical
trials, Scenar (sometimes spelt with a “k”) in 1986 was approved by the USSR Medical Council for use both in
hospitals and the home. The device could be mistaken for a TV remote control unit. In fact it is a highly
sophisticated device designed to be an informational analogue to a living system.
The theories underlying Scenar therapy draw on Functional Medicine, as well as traditional Chinese medicine, and
centre on the concept that the human body is a finely tuned functional system continually maintaining itself in
balance (homeostasis). Normally the body adapts in a self-regulatory manner to the stimuli reaching it from both
internal and external sources, making it a dynamic but stable system. When something disrupts this adaptive
process, e.g. trauma or disease, balance is lost and the self-regulating process may need to be re-started through
an external catalyst, such as Scenar.
Scenar therapy is a complex form of electrotherapy which delivers specific electrical stimulation impulses to the
body via in-built and/or remote electrodes in direct contact with the skin’s surface. The impulses mimic the
electrical signals produced by the patient’s nervous system so as to stimulate the organism to heal itself with
optimum efficiency and safety. By bringing the Scenar device into contact with the patient’s skin, bio-feedback
from the presenting pain / disease dynamics (or lack of them) will determine the appropriate impulses. They will be
specific to each patient and at any given time. Scenar’s actions aim at both the “fast” pain-blocking A-fibres and
the “slow” pain producing and peptide generating C-fibres.
Explained at its simplest, the Scenar’s sophisticated circuitry “listens” to the patient’s body and then determines
the most appropriate signals and dosages that, in any given instance, need to be provided to stimulate
self-healing. The body’s self-healing is effected through neuro- and other peptides, sometimes described as the
body’s in-built pharmacy. The dosed signal stream, consisting of waveform, signal strength and frequency, can be
varied, either by pre-selection, by the Scenar therapist, or automatically, by the control circuitry of the device.
The automatic process can be overridden by the Scenar therapist with guidance from visual indicators and as sound
signals from the device, or from direct indicators from the patient’s skin. The experienced therapist can draw on a
comprehensive range of treatment variations to deal with both acute and chronic conditions.
