THE WOODLANDS, TX, April 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Autonomix Medical, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMIX) (“Autonomix” or the “Company”), a medical device company dedicated to advancing precision nerve-targeted treatments, today announced its long-term data titled “Pain Mitigation in Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma: A Long-Term Analysis of Denervation via Transvascular RF Energy-Based Ablation” has been accepted for presentation at Digestive Disease Week 2026 (DDW 2026), being held May 2–5, 2026, in Chicago, IL and virtually.

Pancreatic adenocarcinoma is frequently associated with severe, debilitating pain that significantly impacts patient quality of life. The data to be presented highlights long-term outcomes associated with Autonomix’s transvascular radiofrequency (RF) energy-based ablation approach, which is designed to target and disrupt nerve signaling pathways responsible for pain transmission.

“This acceptance at DDW 2026 underscores our strategy of socializing and validating our data at preeminent conferences alongside world-renowned KOLs and clinical leaders,” said Dr. Robert Schwartz, Autonomix Co-Founder and Chief Medical Officer. “We are encouraged by the long-term findings and look forward to sharing these insights with the global gastroenterology and surgical community.”

Digestive Disease Week is one of the world’s premier gatherings for physicians, researchers, and industry leaders in gastroenterology, hepatology, endoscopy, and gastrointestinal surgery. The conference provides a platform for cutting-edge research and advancements that shape the future of digestive healthcare. For more information, please visit the DDW 2026 conference website here.

About Autonomix Medical, Inc.

Autonomix is a medical device company focused on advancing innovative technologies to revolutionize how diseases involving the nervous system are diagnosed and treated. The Company’s first-in-class platform system technology includes a catheter-based microchip sensing array that may have the ability to detect and differentiate neural signals with greater sensitivity than currently available technologies. We believe this will enable, for the first time ever, transvascular diagnosis and treatment of diseases involving the peripheral nervous system virtually anywhere in the body.

We are initially developing this technology for the treatment of pain, with initial trials focused on pancreatic cancer, a condition that causes debilitating pain and is without a reliable solution. Our technology constitutes a platform to address dozens of potential indications, including cardiology, hypertension and chronic pain management, across a wide disease spectrum. Our technology is investigational and has not yet been cleared for marketing in the United States.
