CARMEL, Ind., Sept. 16, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NeurAxis, Inc. ("NeurAxis" or the "Company") (NYSE:NRXS), a medical technology company commercializing neuromodulation therapies for chronic and debilitating conditions in children and adults, today announced significant new medical policy coverage from a major national health insurer for Percutaneous Electrical Nerve Field Stimulation ("PENFS"). The coverage spans multiple states and represents approximately 18 million health plan members.

NeurAxis’ proprietary PENFS technology, IB-Stim, is FDA-cleared for the treatment of functional abdominal pain associated with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and Functional Dyspepsia (FD) including associated nausea symptoms in patients 8 years and older. IB-Stim is a non-invasive neuromodulation device that gently stimulates cranial nerve bundles in the ear to help regulate pain signaling between the gut and the brain. Currently, no FDA-approved drug therapies exist for pediatric patients with abdominal pain related to functional dyspepsia, a significant unmet medical need. In the absence of approved options, off-label prescription drugs are often used, despite limited efficacy data and potential safety concerns—underscoring IB-Stim’s unique position as the only FDA-cleared therapy specifically designed for this large and underserved pain related patient population.

"NeurAxis’ growth is accelerating as we execute on our plans to expand payer coverage, broaden patient access and scale commercialization of IB-Stim," said Brian Carrico, Chief Executive Officer of NeurAxis. "Securing medical policy coverage for PENFS from one of the nation’s leading health insurers demonstrates tangible progress against these priorities. We are translating our clinical evidence into meaningful coverage gains and actively pursuing additional major national insurers to build on this momentum.

"With a Category I CPT code effective January 1, 2026, and our proprietary PENFS technology incorporated into leading national society clinical practice guidelines, we have established a strong foundation to support continued growth. Our focus is now on converting these achievements into broader physician adoption, increased patient access and sustained commercial expansion. Backed by a strengthened balance sheet and growing payer recognition, we believe NeurAxis is well positioned to deliver significant revenue growth and margin expansion as we continue executing on our strategy."
