Problem
Individuals undergoing opioid withdrawal often experience severe physical and psychological symptoms that can lead to relapse and hinder their transition to long-term treatment. Traditional methods may not adequately address the intensity of these symptoms, contributing to high rates of treatment failure and continued societal costs associated with the opioid crisis.
Solution
Speranza Therapeutics offers the S.T. Genesis, an FDA-cleared Percutaneous Nerve Field Stimulator (PNFS) device designed to alleviate opioid withdrawal symptoms. This noninvasive technology targets specific cranial nerve branches and occipital nerves through auricular neurostimulation. The device is applied to the outer ear and delivers continuous stimulation for up to 120 hours, providing a bridge for patients during the critical phase of detox. By reducing the discomfort and anxiety associated with withdrawal, S.T. Genesis aims to improve patient outcomes and support their journey toward sustained recovery.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes healthcare providers, addiction treatment centers, and patients seeking effective, non-pharmacological interventions for opioid withdrawal management.
