NeuroMetrix to Exhibit at American Diabetes Association’s 73rd Scientific Sessions
WALTHAM, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jun. 10, 2013--
NeuroMetrix,
Inc. (Nasdaq: NURO), a medical device company focused on the
diagnosis and treatment of the neurological complications of diabetes,
reported today that it will exhibit and participate in the American
Diabetes Association’s (ADA) 73
rd Scientific Sessions. The
ADA Scientific Sessions will be held on
June 22-24 in
Chicago at the
McCormick Place Convention Center.
NeuroMetrix will feature its first therapeutic product, the SENSUS™
Pain Management System, which was launched during the first quarter of
2013. SENSUS is a transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulator intended
for the symptomatic relief and management of chronic intractable pain.
It is the only device designed specifically for people with diabetes and
chronic pain. The most common cause of such pain in people with diabetes
is painful diabetic neuropathy (PDN), which affects up to 5 million
people in the US alone. Most patients with PDN have moderate to severe
pain and half have sleep disturbances due to their pain. SENSUS offers
physicians and their patients a non-narcotic pain relief option as a
complement to medications. The device is lightweight, can be worn during
the day, and may be used at bedtime before going to sleep. It is
activated by the press of a single button.
The Company will also conduct a meeting of its scientific advisory board
consisting of international leaders in the detection, management, and
treatment of the neurological complications of diabetes. Attendees are
encouraged to visit NeuroMetrix at booth #947.
