Nevro Corp., a global medical device company that is delivering comprehensive, life-changing solutions for the treatment of chronic pain, announced that data from the SENZA Painful Diabetic Neuropathy (PDN) Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT), the largest RCT to evaluate spinal cord stimulation (SCS) to treat PDN, will be presented at the American Diabetes Association (ADA) 82nd Scientific Sessions to be held June 3-7, 2022 in New Orleans, LA. Nevro will also showcase the company’s HFX™ platform of SCS solutions in Exhibit Booth #1119 and in an ADA product theater presentation by Dr. Erika Petersen and Dr. George Grunberger.

During the poster presentation, Dr. Erika Petersen will present the 24-month follow-up results from the original 10 kHz arm of the SENZA-PDN RCT. The objective of this study was to compare Nevro‘s proprietary high-frequency (10 kHz) SCS plus Conventional Medical Management (CMM) to CMM alone in 216 patients at 18 centers in the United States. Previously published complete 12-month results in Diabetes Care demonstrated significantly improved and sustained outcomes with high-frequency 10 kHz Therapy, including substantial, sustained pain relief and improved health-related quality of life in patients suffering from PDN.
The World Health Organization estimates 422 million adults with diabetes worldwide and prevalence (8.5%) that has nearly doubled over four decades.2 Diabetes may cause systemic damage with profound impact on health-related quality of life and is potentially life-threatening. Diabetic peripheral neuropathy is a common complication presenting as pain and other dysesthesias, including numbness, burning, or tingling. Approximately 20% of patients with diabetes will develop PDN, a progressive, potentially debilitating chronic neuropathic pain condition.3 In the U.S., it is estimated that there are approximately 140,000 to 200,000 PDN patients each year that become refractory to conventional medical management, representing an annual total addressable market opportunity of approximately $3.5 billion to $5.0 billion.4,5
The American Diabetes Association’s Scientific Sessions offer researchers and health care professionals from around the globe an exclusive opportunity to share ideas and gain knowledge about the recent advances in diabetes research, treatment, and care. Attendees will have access to more than 3,000 original research presentations, take part in thought-provoking speaking engagements with leading diabetes experts, and expand their professional networks.
