NeuroMetrix Teams Up with U.S. Pain Foundation to Raise Awareness of Chronic PainIn recognition of Pain Awareness Month this September, NeuroMetrix, Inc. (Nasdaq: NURO) is partnering with the U.S. Pain Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to serving those who live with pain conditions and their providers, to raise awareness of the issues impacting the chronic pain community. During September, NeuroMetrix will donate a portion of sales of the company's Quell® Wearable Pain Relief Technology™ to the U.S. Pain Foundation. Through this partnership, NeuroMetrix will also offer a limited edition Quell Pain Awareness Bundle, featuring educational materials and a Pain Warrior bracelet from U.S. Pain. In addition to the Starter Kit collaboration, participants in the U.S. Pain Foundation's "30-Day Challenge" social media campaign will have an opportunity to win prizes, including a Quell device, during the month of September. "Although a third of Americans are living with chronic pain, those outside of this community often struggle to understand its significant and varied impact," said Shai Gozani, M.D., Ph.D., President and CEO of NeuroMetrix. "This month, together with the U.S. Pain Foundation, we hope to bring greater visibility to the devastating effects of chronic pain as part of our mission to enable those living with pain to reclaim their lives. They can't do it alone, and as we help in providing new technology solutions for widespread pain relief, we also strive to empathize and give those with chronic pain a greater voice." "We are committed to educating the public about drug-free, alternative treatments for chronic pain, making this partnership with NeuroMetrix a natural fit," said Paul Gileno, President and Founder of the U.S. Pain Foundation. "By building awareness for this community and the treatment options that are available to them, we can help to icrease access to quality care and empower those living in pain." As part of its Pain Awareness Month initiatives, NeuroMetrix will launch a four-week series on its blog, LivingQuell, to dig deeper into the issues surrounding the chronic pain community and share new data revealed from a survey the company issued in partnership with BackerNation. Weekly topics will cover a variety of issues, including the cost of living with pain and the ripple effects of pain. LivingQuell was launched earlier this year to provide an online resource for people affected by chronic pain - as well as the rapidly growing user base of the company's Quell Wearable Pain Relief Technology.
