ATLANTA, GA--(Marketwired - Sep 19, 2016) - Medovex Corp. (
The event is the EFIC's first topical seminar on the theme of acute and chronic joint pain. 2016 is the European and global year against joint pain. The meeting in Dubrovnik will bring together clinical scientists and practicing health care workers from all disciplines to consider the many recent developments in the understanding and treatment of joint diseases causing pain and the overall management of such pain.
Topics covered in the Symposium will include animal models of joint pain, inflammatory hyperalgesia, epidemiology and assessment of joint pain, back pain and the new NICE guidelines, acute joint pain and its management including pre and postoperative pain treatment, and all aspects of treatment of chronic joint pain now and in the future.
"We look forward to attending this new symposium as it clearly aligns with the mission of our patented DenerveX™ System, intended to treat Facet Joint Syndrome (FJS), a condition in which the joints in the back of the spine degenerate and subsequently cause pain. Lower back pain is the second most common cause of disability in the U.S. for adults. Studies indicate that 10% of the U.S. adult population suffers from lower back pain and that 31% of lower back pain is attributed to FJS pain," said Manfred Sablowski, Medovex Senior Vice President Global Sales & Marketing.
The DenerveX System consists of the DenerveX device, a single use medical device and the DenerveX Pro-40 Power Generator, both designed to be less invasive with faster recovery time than current surgical treatment options. It consists of two procedures combined into one device and is expected to provide for a longer lasting treatment solution while offering potential savings to the health care system. DenerveX system is not yet CE marked or FDA cleared and is not yet commercially available.
