1
Attendee (Female)
Excuse me, I'm Dr. Lee. I'm very impressed with the presentation on your new neurostimulation device. Could you tell me more about its specific applications in chronic pain management?
2
Sales Representative (Male)
Certainly, Dr. Lee. Thank you for stopping by. Our new device, the 'NeuroSense X,' is specifically designed for targeted pain modulation. Its primary application in chronic pain is for neuropathic pain and failed back surgery syndrome, offering a non-opioid alternative. We've seen excellent results in our clinical trials.
3
Attendee (Female)
That's fascinating. You mentioned clinical trials. Can you share any specific data or outcomes regarding its long-term efficacy and patient adherence compared to existing treatments?
4
Sales Representative (Male)
Absolutely. We have comprehensive data sets available. Our Phase III trial, which tracked patients for two years, showed a 65% average reduction in pain scores, significantly higher than conventional SCS treatments. Patient adherence was also remarkably high at 92%, primarily due to the user-friendly interface and minimal side effects. I can provide you with a detailed summary booklet and access to our online publication portal.
5
Attendee (Female)
That would be fantastic. I'm particularly interested in the long-term data. Also, what kind of training or support do you offer for medical professionals who adopt this technology?
6
Sales Representative (Male)
We have a robust training program. We offer on-site training sessions with our clinical specialists, comprehensive online modules, and 24/7 technical support. We also run regular webinars to keep practitioners updated on new findings and best practices. Our goal is to ensure a smooth transition and optimal patient outcomes.

Attendee (Female)
That sounds very comprehensive. I appreciate all the information. Could I possibly get a business card and perhaps schedule a follow-up call next week to discuss potential integration into our practice?
8
Sales Representative (Male)
Of course, Dr. Lee. Here's my card. I'd be delighted to schedule a call. I’ll also email you the links to our clinical publications and a digital brochure right after the symposium. Thank you again for your interest in NeuroSense X.
