Helius Medical completes participation enrollment for stroke program in the U.S.

Helius Medical Technologies announced the completion of site participation enrollment for its stroke registrational program in the U.S. with the addition of REHABOLOGYM, Neurology Center of New England, and MGH Institute of Health Professions. The stroke registrational program, which also includes Brooks Rehabilitation and Shepherd Center, is designed to establish the effects of cranial-nerve non-invasive neuromodulation, delivered using PoNS Therapy, on gait and dynamic balance in chronic stroke survivors. Under the direction of Avrielle Rykman Peltz, M.A., OTR/L and Dr. Jay Lombard, D.O., REHABOLOGYM has already enrolled six subjects and expects to reach at least ten patients by early July. NCNE and MGH-IHP joined the study in May and June, respectively, and both sites will begin enrollment in July. Brooks Rehabilitation started enrollment in April with three participants to date while Shepherd Center enrolled two participants in May and expects to add two more by the end of June. Helius anticipates enrolling at least thirty patients into the open label study, across all sites, by the end of the third quarter.
