WOBURN, Mass., March 13, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NeuroMetrix, Inc. (NASDAQ: NURO) today announced that over 2000 fibromyalgia patients have been prescribed Quell Fibromyalgia since its strategic commercial launch in December 2022.

"We have been pleased by the positive response to Quell Fibromyalgia from providers taking care of patients with fibromyalgia during our strategic launch phase," said Shai N. Gozani, M.D., Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer of NeuroMetrix. "This early adoption affirms the need for novel clinical options to support fibromyalgia patients."

Dr. Anjuli Desai, dual board certified in Pain Medicine and Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, commented, "Quell Fibromyalgia has been the treatment option that I have been awaiting for fibromyalgia. It offers me a medication free, safe and effective treatment for a chronic condition that has proven to be a challenge to manage in the past."

Dr. Jeremy Adler, COO of Pacific Pain Medicine Consultants, stated that "For patients with Fibromyalgia, navigating treatments can be overwhelming, costly and carry significant side effects. It is great to have a non-medication option, backed by data, that may provide needed relief. In my practice, we have even had some patients report they were able to reduce pain with Quell Fibromyalgia that medications have never helped before."
