What Is Combined Electrochemical Therapy?
Combined Electrochemical Therapy (CET) is an advanced, FDA-cleared treatment protocol designed specifically for peripheral neuropathy. It combines two clinically proven modalities — Electronic Signal Treatment (EST) delivered by a sophisticated device and regional nerve blocks — to address nerve damage at its source rather than simply masking symptoms with medication.
At New Promise Neuropathy, CET is the cornerstone of our treatment approach across all DFW and South Texas clinic locations.
The Science Behind CET
Peripheral neuropathy occurs when damaged nerves send incorrect signals to the brain, or fail to transmit signals at all. This dysfunction produces the pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness that neuropathy patients experience daily. CET works by targeting this nerve dysfunction directly through two complementary mechanisms.
Component 1: Electronic Signal Treatment (EST)
EST is the core technology driving CET results. Our device generates precisely calibrated electronic signals at multiple therapeutic frequencies. When applied to affected areas through specialized electrodes, these signals:
- Stimulate nerve cell repair — activating the natural regenerative processes within damaged nerve fibers (axons)
- Restore nerve communication — improving signal transmission between nerve cells and across synaptic junctions
- Enhance cellular metabolism — increasing the energy available for nerve repair and maintenance
- Improve microcirculation — boosting blood flow to deliver oxygen and nutrients to damaged nerve tissue
- Reduce abnormal pain signaling — normalizing the electrical activity in nerves that produce burning, tingling, and shooting pain
Our device, which is more sophisticated than a Sanexas device, is unique because it delivers these signals at varying frequencies and waveforms that are specifically calibrated for nerve tissue. This is not generic electrical stimulation — it is a targeted treatment designed for peripheral nerve restoration.
Component 2: Regional Nerve Blocks
The second component of CET involves targeted nerve blocks that:
- Reduce inflammation around compressed or damaged nerves
- Provide immediate pain relief by interrupting pain signal transmission
- Create an optimal healing environment by reducing swelling and irritation that impede nerve recovery
- Enhance EST effectiveness by preparing nerve tissue to respond to electronic signal therapy
What Happens During a CET Session
A typical CET treatment session at New Promise Neuropathy follows a structured protocol:
- Initial assessment — your specialist evaluates current symptoms and tracks progress from prior sessions
- Nerve block administration — targeted injections are delivered to reduce inflammation in affected areas
- Electrode placement — specialized electrodes from our device are positioned over the treatment areas
- EST delivery — calibrated electronic signals are delivered at therapeutic frequencies for a prescribed duration
- Progress monitoring — your response is evaluated throughout to optimize treatment parameters
Sessions are performed entirely in-office. The treatment is non-surgical, non-invasive, and requires no anesthesia. Patients experience minimal discomfort and return to normal activities immediately with zero downtime.
Results Patients Experience
The majority of CET patients at New Promise Neuropathy report measurable improvements:
- Pain reduction — decreased burning, tingling, and stabbing sensations
- Improved sensation — return of feeling in previously numb areas
- Nerve fiber regeneration — documented improvements in nerve function
- Better balance and strength — enhanced coordination and muscle function
- Quality of life gains — improved sleep, mobility, and daily function
Who Benefits from CET
CET is effective across a wide range of all types of neuropathy including:
- Diabetic neuropathy
- Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy
- Idiopathic neuropathy
- Neuropathy from injury or compression
- Peripheral neuropathy from autoimmune conditions
