A NEW WAY TO LASTING RELIEF

ADDRESSING AN ENDURING CHALLENGE

SCIENCE BROCHURE

Neuropathic pain is burning, electric, or shooting pain that persists following traumatic, metabolic, viral, surgical, or drug-induced damage to the sensory nervous system. It is localized, long lasting, often severe, and notoriously difficult to treat. This illustrated brochure, designed for the purpose of explaining the new approach under investigation at NeuorgesX, was written using primary and secondary sources.
