 The living organism can exist in an optimum
manner within a short range of the internal
environment parameters.
 The external environment changes these
parameters. The organism consistently aims to
compensate such changes in order to restore
the optimum parameters of the activity. This is
a homeostasis process.
 The homeostasis is realized due to formation of
adaptive reactions which constitute a result of the
activity of functional and adaptive systems in the
body.
 If there are any dysfunctions of these systems, any
various diseases and states are formed and
manifested as different complaints.
 The official and alternative (holistic) medicine have
different approaches to a disease treatment
process.
TREATMENT APPROACHES:
 Orthodox medicine – fighting against the
disease.
 Alternative medicine – harmonizing the
patient’s body with the outside world and
environment
The new medical area – SCENAR-therapy was
formed at the junction of the official and
alternative system approaches

SCENAR Therapy –
New Medical Technology
Russia, Taganrog,
RITM OKB ZAO
The core element of SCENAR technology is
the BODY OF A PATIENT!
SCENAR-therapy is the first medical technology
where the treatment process (where, when and
how long to treat) is controlled by the patient’s
body rather than by the operator (specialist).
Yu.V. Gorfinkel:
“We must help the body help itself.”
SCENAR-therapy
has
evidenced
its
high
effectiveness in treatment of various diseases and
states throughout its existence.
This technology is applied in various areas of the
medicine both in acute states or reanimation and in
aggravation of chronic problems.
SCENAR-therapy is used as a basic therapy and an
accompanying therapy, or as combined with any other
methods for the patients’ complex treatment.
Basic factors of high effectiveness of
SCENAR-therapy :
1. Unique technical solutions.
2. Philosophic approach.
3. Medical aspects.
1. Unique technical solutions.
- Application of optimum physiological
parameters of an electric impulse.
- Automatic correction of the stimulation
stimulus parameters subject to the body’s
reactions to a previous stimulus.
Specific characteristics of the SCENAR impulse
• The impulse pattern is similar to the impulse of the nerve
fiber (catalyzing the production of regulatory peptides and
prolonging effects).
SCENAR impulse
ECG record
TEMPORAL RELATION BETWEEN CURRENTS,
ACTION POTENTIAL AND CHANGES IN EXCITABLE TISSUES
 The impulse is very short-termed (µs). In traditional
physiotherapy impulses are longer in duration (msec).
 SCENAR impulses have long pauses between them to let
receptors have rest. SCENAR therapy has no side effects of
electrical treatment and does not cause damage to nerve
fibers.

Specific characteristics of the SCENAR impulse
1. Physiological compatibility:
- the neural-like pattern (is perceived similarly to an
impulse of the body; does not cause any negative side
effects; is easily transmitted into the energo-informational
paths,
- bipolarity (alternating current does not cause polarization
of tissues),
- availability of pauses (giving time to the nerve fiber to
have rest and to restore).
2. Nondestructive effect is achieved due to the short
duration of the impulse (50-100 µs).
3. Responsiveness, asymmetry (the impulse can change its
shape and amplitude), thus significantly reducing the risk of
habit formation.

2. Philosophic approach.

SCENAR-therapy is a philosophic concept with
its own ideology relating to :
- the world around us,
- notions of the health and disease,
- unity and interrelation of organs and systems of
the organism as a whole.
- the organism as a component of the
environment.
 The full active co-participation of a patient
himself/herself in the recovery process, change of
its attitude to the life (its way of life and thinking)
to keep the result obtained.
 Formation of a treatment process under
SCENAR-therapy principles that essentially
reflect the laws of the World.
 Each individual is a part of the World and reflects
its structure in full.
 The man constitutes something more than its body.
This is a whole and mutually dependent system of
the body, emotions, the brain and spirit.
 The health keeping depends on this unity harmony.

The following principles shall be observed in
treatment to improve the effectiveness.
Underlying principles and basic concepts
of SCENAR therapy
“Here and now” Complaint
Zone and Vector (direction)
Asymmetry and Small Asymmetry
Dynamics and Stability
Opposite and Cycle
Combination and Alteration
Saving and Optimality
The application of these principles helps to form a
“therapeutic triangle“ and a medical algorithm of
SCENAR-stimulation as a basis of SCENAR-technology
effectiveness.

The medical algorithm includes :
А. Stimulation of a planned skin area.
The stimulation purpose is to expertise this area
state and look for Asymmetries (areas with
different reaction on the same device operation)
on it.
В. Selection of an area with the similar difference
of the Small Asymmetry zone (a skin area of the
smallest square and maximum intensity of
manifestations) for additional stimulation of this
area with SCENAR device.
С. Stimulation of the selected Small Asymmetry
zone with SCENAR-device in order to obtain
planned changes on the skin and in complaints.
The stimulation purpose is to concentrate the
counter irritation on the area of smaller square
in order to form a vector of the body’s
responses and obtain positive dynamics of the
patient’s complaints.
3. Medical aspects.
 The patient’s treatment process is formed as a
dialogue (under the feedback principle). The
methodology
based
on
the
body’s
neurophysiology and formed taking into
account its functional and pathological systems
is used in this dialogue. The functionalpathological system is formed during a SCENARsession and this system allows the patient’s
body to make a clearer image of a disease and
activate the self-regulation systems.
 The main task of a SCENAR-specialist is to look
about and select the optimum tactics of
operation with a patient by way of creating
the cooperation system «Operator –
Device – Patient» («Therapeutic Triangle»).
 The diagnosis is not important in SCENARtherapy but an ACTIVE COMPLAINT “here and
now” is important (maximum subjective
discomfort during a treatment session):
localization, character, intensity and duration
of pain or other subjective sensations.
The tactics to be applied while
operating with a patient shall be
determined depending on whether an
acute or chronic state caused his/her
complaints.

Selection of a stimulation mode in acute state
 Basic operation mode – Subjectively – Dosed
Mode (SDM).
Its purpose is to obtain positive dynamics of a complaint
at the earliest and to accelerate organic disorders
recovery.
 A d d i t i o n a l o p e rat i o n m o d e – I n d i v i d u a l l y
– D o s e d m o d e (IDM). It shall be used:
- if there is no sufficient effect after the SDM had been
applied,
- to improve SCENAR-therapy effectiveness by way of
creating difference of the patient’s body stimulation.

 Basic tasks of SCENAR-therapy in chronic
state:
- to help the patient’s body to restore
adaptive mechanisms to the normal physiology
level,
- to help a patient to change his/her opinion
on chronic state as a norm variant,
- to help the patient’s body to complete an
adaptive reconstruction and cope with a problem.

Selection of a stimulation mode in chronic state

 Basic operation mode – Individually-Dosed Mode
(IDM).
Its purpose is to help the body to make an adaptive
reconstruction and obtain positive dynamics of a
complaint.
 Additional operation mode – Subjectively-Dosed
Mode (SDM). It shall be applied:
- for additional stimulation within the local zone,
- to improve SCENAR-therapy effectiveness by way of
combination and alteration of various stimulation of a
patient’s body.
 During the treatment, the SCENAR physician
monitors responses of the autonomic nervous
system, immune, hormone and neuropsychic
systems.
 The selected stimulation result determines an each
individual algorithm to be applied in order to select
a mode and zones to be stimulated, to select
stimulation parameters, time and repetition of
stimulation.
 The individual approach significantly improves the
operational effectiveness of the system «Operator –
Device – Patient».
The biocybernetic “BODY – DEVICE” system
• The SCENAR technology incorporates a cybernetic
system of monitoring of the therapeutic treatment
and optimum adjustment of the signals.
• The system follows the rhythms of the body,
operating in harmony with the body as an integral
part of it and providing real-time adjustment. The
body of a patient gradually leans how to function
properly, depending on the situation and the genetic
program.
• The Specialist’s task in the system «Operator- Device
– Patient» is to observe the treatment process, correct
the patient’s current state and control this system
efficiency.
• The Patient’s function in this system is to observe
carefully and actively the dynamics of complains and
health
during
the
therapy,
to
perform
recommendations given by the specialist and change
its way of life properly.
• The function of SCENAR Device in the system is to
indicate informational areas for therapeutic
stimulation, to form therapeutic impulses and
correct them during the stimulation process.
Conclusions:
1. The core of a disease is formed by different
disorders of homeostasis. Therefore, treatment
should be targeted at restoration and
normalization of functions of the adaptation
systems supporting the homeostasis.
2. The new medical technology appeared at the
junction of holistic and official medicine; and
this technology combines the philosophy of a
man harmonization as one whole system, as a
personality and modern technical solutions.
3. SCT, as such, is a program for restoration of
adaptation systems.
4. The high therapeutic effect of SCENARtherapy is obtained :
а) thanks to electrical stimulation parameters
provided by SCENAR device:
 Electrical
impulse
has
non-damaging
physiological parameters and can change
them if there is a body’s reaction,
 Adaptive features of SCENAR device allows to
form the biofeedback during the stimulation.
As a result, the control of its stimulation
correction is transferred from the device to the
patient’s body.
b) thanks to methodology that consider
physiological and energetic capabilities of the
body.
с) thanks to formation of the treatment
system «Operator – Device – Patient» for
effective recovery of the adaptation systems.
Each element of this “therapeutic triangle” is
an active member of the team working
towards the same goal.
High effectiveness of SCENAR therapy is explained
by the compliance with the main requirement of
medicine – treatment of the patient rather than the
disease:
 patient-tailored approach:
- individual zones of stimulation,
- individually selected duration of stimulation,
- treatment based on the personal complaint of the
patient,
- treatment principle “here and now”,
- responsiveness of stimulation treatment (individual
changes in the treatment pattern selected for the
patient).
 activation of all constituent elements of health
(somatic, psycho-emotional and intellectual).
