NeuroMetrix, Inc. (Nasdaq: NURO) today reported that researchers
from the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry
will present a scientific poster titled “Wearable TENs band for
chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN): A feasibility
study” at the upcoming annual meeting of the American Pain Society
to be held in Pittsburgh, PA, May 17-20.
Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is a common
cause of chronic neuropathic pain. It is characterized by symptoms
that include burning pain, a distorted sense of touch, numbness,
tingling, and cramps. CIPN is a common dose limiting side effect of
chemotherapy and significantly impacts the quality of life of many
cancer survivors. About one-third of patients will develop chronic
CIPN 6 months or more after the end of chemotherapy,
The Quell® study was led by Dr. Jennifer Gewandter, Assistant
Professor, Department of Anesthesiology. The objective of the study
was to test the feasibility of evaluating Quell technology in
cancer survivors with CIPN and to obtain preliminary clinical
efficacy data.
“We are pleased to have supported this study, and hope it lays
the groundwork for a large scale randomized clinical study that
further evaluates the efficacy of Quell in CIPN,” said Shai N.
Gozani, M.D., Ph.D., President and CEO of NeuroMetrix. “Many Quell
users have neuropathic pain, including from CIPN. We therefore hope
that this and future studies help us optimize Quell for treatment
of chronic neuropathic pain.”
