TAMPA, Fla., Jan. 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Neurolief, a global leader in medical devices delivering groundbreaking neurotechnology innovations for the treatment of Neurological and Neuropsychiatric disorders, announces the approval of its neuromodulation device, Relivion^®, by the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare (MHLW). This approval marks a historic moment for Neurolief and its partner Sawai Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd, as Relivion^® becomes the first neuromodulation device approved in Japan for at-home use in the acute treatment of migraine.

Marketing efforts for Relivion^® will be led by Sawai Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd, which have entered into an exclusive partnership agreement with Neurolief for development and commercialization of Relivion^® for migraine and depression indications in Japan.

Scott Drees, CEO of Neurolief, expressed great enthusiasm for the MHLW approval, emphasizing the profound impact this decision will have on the millions of migraine patients in Japan. He underscored this achievement as a pivotal step in realizing Neurolief’s mission of bringing its pioneering neurotechnology to individuals globally.
