NURO is in late stage development of a consumer oriented chronic pain treatment product.

This 510(k) clearance allows NURO to market the over-the-counter device through retail distribution channels without a prescription requirement.

NURO also markets DPNCheck(R), which is a rapid, accurate, and quantitative point-of-care test for peripheral neuropathies such as diabetic neuropathy.
