A SCENAR treatment lasts between 5 - 15 minutes, depending on the necessity and the patient's response. The affected area of the body is stroked by the therapist with the SCENAR device. By observing the skin's reaction or the measurement values displayed by the device, the practitioner can identify the most promising spot for the therapy. This specific area is then treated during the session as long as an improvement in the regulatory disorder is observed (indicated by the measured values of skin resistance). After each treatment, the patient should notice a change in their symptoms.
For acute conditions, fewer treatments (usually 1-5) are required, while for chronic complaints, more frequent treatments (5-15) are necessary, typically one to several times per week.
