Introducción: Scrambler therapy es una modalidad nueva y no invasiva de electroanalgesia con la intención de organizar la pobre adaptación de las señales eléctricas de los nervios periféricos. Objetivo: Estudiar si la Scrambler therapy influye en la intensidad del dolor en pacientes con cáncer. Método: Revisión integradora de la Literatura según la Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA), mediante búsqueda realizada en las bases de datos LILACS, PEDro, SciELO y PubMed, utilizando las palabras clave “terapia Scrambler”, “cáncer”, “dolor”, así como el uso de los operadores booleanos AND y OR, en portugués, inglés y español, sin límite de tiempo. Resultados: Se incluyeron 15 artículos relevantes para la revisión, que muestran una reducción en la intensidad del dolor. La Scrambler therapy se basa en cinco neuronas artificiales controladas por un algoritmo optimizado para proporcionar seguridad y eficacia. El hardware recibe información del algoritmo que crea las cadenas de “no dolor” y las procesa transformándolas en flujos de potenciales de acción sintéticos (es decir, creados por la tecnología) funcionalmente compatibles con los endógenos. Conclusión: Los resultados positivos encontrados en los estudios preliminares con la Scrambler therapy indican beneficios en el control del dolor por cáncer.
