REDWOOD CITY, Calif., 2014-05-01 14:00 CEST (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
California based myoscience, inc., is pleased to announce the launch of the
revolutionary iovera* health treatment, a new option to immediately block pain
using the body's natural response to cold without the use of drugs or surgery.
Vinod Dasa, MD, Associate Professor of Orthopaedic Surgery in New Orleans, one
of the first to perform the treatment has treated over 50 patients and is
excited about the possibilities. 'I think this technology has the potential to
change the current paradigm of acute and chronic pain management. The patients
that I have treated are all grateful to have an option that is very safe and
that has allowed them to get back to functionality quickly.'
Clint Carnell, CEO of myoscience, has witnessed the powerful patient outcomes
'It's rewarding to provide this revolutionary treatment to patients suffering
from pain. We have developed a product that delivers a treatment that is safe,
effective and most importantly free of the negative systemic side effects often
common with today's therapeutic options.'
The iovera* health treatment utilizes myoscience's platform technology, the
Focused Cold Therapy(TM) delivery system, to precisely target peripheral
nerves, temporarily interrupting pain signaling pathways. This precise cold
treatment causes a reversible nerve block based on a process called 2nd degree
degeneration that is followed by a predictable restoration of nerve function.
The iovera* system offers patients a new treatment option, with no systemic
side effects and nothing being injected into the body. Most patients experience
instant pain relief after an iovera* treatment, with results that can last up
to three months.
