Neuralace Medical announced today that it received FDA clearance for its chronic painful diabetic neuropathy (PDN) treatment.

San Diego–based Neuralace says this marks the first-ever FDA clearance of a non-invasive, magnetic peripheral nerve stimulation (mPNS) treatment for PDN. The company says its Axon Therapy could offer “new hope” to millions with the condition.

Axon Therapy uses mPNS to deliver a quick, painless and non-invasive treatment in sessions lasting just 13.5 minutes, according to Neuralace. Each session utilizes magnetic pulses to provide relief for a potential improvement in pain management.

Neuralace said a recent trial of 71 patients demonstrated efficiency, plus significant improvements in subject outcomes. The company believes its therapy represents a paradigm shift in PDN treatment.

Axon Therapy offers a non-pharmacological and non-invasive option that could reduce dependence on medications and their associated side effects. The company says FDA clearance paves the way for broader access to innovative pain management strategies.

Neuralace also said it underscores the company’s commitment to advancing patient care through technology.

“The FDA clearance of Axon Therapy is a monumental step forward in the treatment of PDN,” said Keith Warner, CEO of Neuralace Medical. “This first-of-its-kind, non-invasive solution embodies our commitment to innovative, patient-centered care, offering effective pain relief without the drawbacks of conventional, more invasive treatments.”
