( MENAFN - PR Newswire) Analysis Marks the First Study of Spinal Cord Stimulation to Demonstrate Long-term, Significant, and Clinically Meaningful Reductions in HbA1c and Weight in Study Participants with Painful diabetic Neuropathy and Type 2 Diabetes REDWOOD CITY, Calif., Oct. 29, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Nevro Corp.
(NYSE: NVRO ), a global medical device company that is delivering comprehensive, life-changing solutions for the treatment of chronic pain, today announced the publication of new data in the Journal of Pain Research demonstrating significant, durable pain relief and long-term and clinically meaningful reductions in hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) and weight in study participants with painful diabetic neuropathy (PDN) and Type 2 diabetes who received 10 kHz high-frequency spinal cord stimulation (SCS) therapy.1 Globally, the number of people with diabetes has quadrupled in the last two decades2, and PDN impacts up to 25% of all people with diabetes.3 PDN can have significant impacts on the quality of life for people living with this condition, with symptoms like numbness, tingling/paresthesia, loss of protective sensation, impaired balance, and reduced response to sensory stimuli.
4 Patients typically manage PDN with oral pain medications, but the efficacy of these medications is relatively low and can result in intolerable side effects.5 As a result, people with PDN suffer from significantly reduced health-related quality of life (HRQoL), impaired functionality and other comorbidities like sleep disorders, depression, and anxiety.6 The analysis evaluated 144 patients with Type 2 diabetes and refractory PDN who received 10 kHz SCS therapy during the SENZA-PDN randomized controlled trial (RCT), the largest RCT to evaluate SCS to treat PDN.
Changes in pain intensity, HbA1c, weight, and sleep were evaluated over 24 months, with participants stratified according to preimplantation HbA1c. At 24 months, the following benefits were noted1: " People with PDN know that this condition can extend well beyond pain – impacting sleep, sensory functions, and overall quality of life," said Dr. David Klonoff, Medical Director, Diabetes Research Institute at Mills-Peninsula Medical Center.
"This is the first study of SCS to demonstrate long-term, significant and clinically meaningful reductions in HbA1c and weight in people with PDN and Type 2 diabetes – suggesting possible metabolic benefits with 10 kHz SCS for these patients." "The SENZA-PDN RCT has already demonstrated the significant pain relief benefit when using Nevro's HFX device for the millions of people suffering from PDN around the world," said Dr. David Caraway, Nevro's Chief Medical Officer.
"Now, for the first time, we've observed secondary benefits like improved HbA1c and weight loss, which exhibit potentially disease-modifying effects for people with Type 2 diabetes. I'm grateful for the dedication of the clinical investigators who supported this latest analysis and the broader SENZA-PDN RCT as we continue gathering data to support market access for more patients." The 24-month data from the SENZA-PDN RCT were originally published in Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice in 2023.
These data showed that patients who received a high-frequency 10 kHz SCS implant and conventional medical management (CMM), compared to CMM alone, experienced durable pain relief and improvements in HRQoL, neurological function, and sleep at 24 months post-implantation.
