NeuroMetrix Announces Strategic Launch of Quell Fibromyalgia
WOBURN, Mass., Nov. 03, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — NeuroMetrix, Inc. (Nasdaq: NURO) today announced the strategic launch of its Quell® Fibromyalgia device through the Pathfinder Program. Quell Fibromyalgia is the first and only medical device authorized by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to help reduce the symptoms of fibromyalgia.
The Pathfinder Program is designed to validate and further refine the commercial process for Quell Fibromyalgia in anticipation of a full commercial launch in Q2 of 2023.

Gozani, M.D., Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer of NeuroMetrix. “By partnering with these physicians, some of the most forward-thinking clinicians on the front lines of fibromyalgia, we will clarify our messaging and distribution process to increase market access and ultimately give patients the best chance of success with our technology.”
