LOS ANGELES, July 30, 2024 — Nervonik, a medical device startup focusing on neurotechnology approaches to peripheral nerve stimulation, has received approval to conduct a first-in-human feasibility study utilizing its proprietary technology. The focus will be on chronic pain of peripheral nerve origin, although the novel technology will eventually be utilized for a variety of medical indications.

Dr. Aydin Babakhani, PhD, founder and CEO of Nervonik, stated, “This is a big step for Nervonik and the evolution of peripheral nerve stimulation in the treatment of chronic pain”. Peripheral nerve stimulation is a rapidly growing market, and the advancement of technology in this space being propelled by Nervonik will help provide solutions for chronic pain patients.

Dr. Timothy Deer, President & CEO, of The Spine and Nerve Centers of the Virginias, commented that, “Nervonik is advancing our ability to treat chronic pain patients with their novel technology. This is a key area for innovation in the field of chronic pain, and we are excited to be conducting this study”. Dr. Deer also presented a paper at the 2024 American Society of Pain and Neuroscience (ASPN) annual conference on the technology Nervonik has been developing.
