Introducing The Cala Kiq? System: Providing Signficant Tremor Relief For Essential Tremor And Parkinson's Disease Patients, Launched By Cala?
Cala, a leading company in bioelectronic medicine focused on transforming the management of chronic diseases, has announced the commercial launch of its latest innovation: the Cala kIQ? System. This state-of-the-art wearable device is the first and only FDA-cleared solution designed to deliver effective therapy and alleviate action hand tremors in patients with essential tremor and Parkinson's disease.
Cala has recently launched the Cala kIQ System, an innovative solution that introduces Cala TAPS (Transcutaneous Afferent Patterned Stimulation) therapy. Extensive clinical studies and real-world evidence have validated the effectiveness of this therapy, showcasing substantial tremor reduction and improvement in daily activities for individuals with essential tremor and Parkinson's disease.
CEO Renee Ryan emphasized Cala's dedication to expanding patient access and driving innovation in TAPS therapy beyond essential tremor. The expansion into Parkinson's disease allows more patients suffering from action hand tremors to benefit from this powerful treatment.
The Cala kIQ System provides patients and physicians with a convenient at-home therapy solution, offering on-demand relief for action hand tremors in a comfortable manner. Action hand tremors typically occur during intentional movement or posture.
Essential tremor and Parkinson's disease affect millions of individuals in the United States, and the demand for effective treatment options continues to rise. Traditionally, medication or surgery were the primary options for managing these conditions, particularly in severe cases. However, the Cala kIQ System with TAPS therapy offers a non-invasive, non-pharmacological solution with minimal side effects.
