WOBURN, Mass., Nov. 08, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — NeuroMetrix, Inc. (Nasdaq: NURO) will introduce Quell Fibromyalgia at the American College of Rheumatology Annual Meeting, ACR Convergence 2022, on November 12 – 14 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Gozani, M.D., Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer, NeuroMetrix. “This conference is an opportunity for us to exchange information with rheumatologists who are managing patients with fibromyalgia.”
