CARMEL, Ind., Dec. 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NeurAxis, Inc. (“NeurAxis” or the “Company”) (NYSE American: NRXS), a medical technology company commercializing neuromodulation therapies for chronic and debilitating conditions in children and adults, today announced that it has been awarded a Veterans Affairs (VA) Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) contract, effective December 1, 2025. The first product listed on the FSS is the IB-Stim ® , a drug-free treatment for functional abdominal pain in patients 8 years and older. This contract award establishes NeurAxis as a federal contractor and creates a clear commercial pathway into the VA health system, which serves nearly 7 million active patients annually. The Company expects the VA award, combined with broadening reimbursement and increasing clinical adoption, to support sustained commercial momentum entering 2026.

NeurAxis’ proprietary technology, IB-Stim, is an FDA-cleared percutaneous electrical nerve field stimulator (PENFS) for the treatment of functional abdominal pain associated with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), functional dyspepsia (FD), and FD-related 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 functional dyspepsia, a significant unmet medical need in the care of both pediatric and adult patients. In the absence of approved options, off-label prescription drugs for functional dyspepsia are often used, despite limited efficacy data and potential safety concerns—underscoring IB-Stim’s unique position as the only FDA-cleared therapy for FD.

“We are pleased to expand access to IB-Stim for the hundreds of thousands of veterans suffering from functional abdominal pain and nausea due to FD,” said Brian Carrico, CEO of NeurAxis. “The VA contract award represents an important commercial milestone and supports our ongoing channel expansion strategy. With a Category I CPT code taking effect January 1, 2026, guideline-level clinical recognition, and a strengthened balance sheet, NeurAxis is well-positioned for meaningful revenue growth and margin expansion. We are dedicating sales resources to the VA and will scale our efforts as utilization grows.”
