History

About 30 years ago a group of Russian scientists, engineers and physicians designed, as part of a medical program of the Centre of Aerospace Flights, apparatus of controlling of the internal environment of the human body called Self Controlling Energo-Neuro Adaptive Regulation (Scenar). They set themselves the task to design a non-invasive, portable treatment device, perhaps even suitable to accompany cosmonauts into space.

Scenar technology has its start from the TENS machine concept, which blocks pain. But today Scenar technology considerably differs from other types of electrical therapies, which send out a consistent continuous signal to which the body can fail to respond. By contrast, Scenar has a reflex response “BIOFEEDBACK”- change in response to body changes and prevent adaptation.

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)..

Scenar therapy was clinically tested in Russia at different scientific centrals, universities, institutes, hospitals, clinics. Since 1986 Scenar therapy has been authorized for clinical use by the Health Ministry of Russia and it is now a standard part of medical education programs throughout Russia.

Today several companies started to produce a range of models under the Scenar technology.

Another large company from Russia “Denas Corporation” was set up in 1995 and now producing 3 models Denas (Scenar family devices), which stands for Dynamic Electro Neuro Adaptive Stimulation and two DiaDens models, which stands for Diagnostic Dynamic Electro Neuro Stimulation. All these models have CE certification and are included on the ARTGA in Australia. In the late 90s Scenar therapy has spread out in UK, Canada, Holland, Hungary, Finland, USA and other countries around the word.

In Australia, pilot study was carried out by the Department of Health and Chiropractic at Macquarie University on the effectiveness of Enar (one of the modification of Scenar devices) and TENS therapy on chronic neck pain.
