Multi-Contact Probe Provides Alternative to Pharmaceutical and Invasive Surgical Treatments

Submission Completed Earlier Than Anticipated

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn., April 23, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NeuroOne Medical Technologies Corporation (Nasdaq: NMTC) ("NeuroOne" or the "Company"), a medical technology company focused on improving surgical care options and outcomes for patients suffering from neurological disorders, has filed its 510(k) submission to the FDA for trigeminal nerve ablation earlier than previous guidance.

This submission leverages the Company’s proprietary OneRF^® Ablation System RF generator platform for the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia, a chronic pain condition affecting approximately 100,000 people in the U.S.¹. The trigeminal nerve is the main sensory nerve in the face associated with triggering excruciating pain for this condition. Trigeminal neuralgia is typically treated with medication or invasive procedures, including microvascular decompression (MCD), radiosurgery, or other percutaneous techniques. The OneRF^® Trigeminal Nerve Ablation technology features a minimally invasive surgical procedure that uses radiofrequency (RF) energy to destroy abnormal tissue to relieve severe, chronic pain in the face. Differentiated features of this multi-contact probe are designed to use multi-point mapping of pain location, stimulation and ablation, all using the same electrode and with the safety of temperature-controlled ablation. These features are also present in the FDA 510(k) cleared OneRF sEEG (brain) Ablation System. This system may allow for reduced procedural time, improved patient comfort and improved patient safety.

Previously published data have shown that RF ablation offers high initial pain relief rates (~95%) and long-term efficacy, especially with repeat treatments, while maintaining a low complication rate^2,3, These characteristics make it a preferred option for patients who are not candidates for major surgery or who are looking for less invasive approaches⁴.

Dave Rosa, President and CEO of NeuroOne, stated: “Our OneRF^® ablation technology platform has already achieved successful commercialization and patient outcomes in lesioning nerve tissue for functional neurosurgical procedures, such as the treatment of epilepsy. Expanding into facial pain broadens the clinical impact of our technology and further validates the versatility and scalability of our platform.”

“If cleared by the FDA, we believe there is a potential to generate revenues from trigeminal nerve ablation in late calendar year 2025.”

NeuroOne’s OneRF^® ablation technology has garnered significant media interest, including recent features on Fox News and Good Morning America. For more interviews and information on the company, please visit www.nmtc1.com.
