First, a disclaimer: Although this video is an accurate description of this patient’s remarkable response to treatment, with significant and sustained improvement in a wide variety of chronic stroke symptoms, it is exceptional and rare that patients with severe chronic symptoms are able to return to this degree to normal daily activities after treatment. Treatment response was immediate and sustained for months, and included improvements in vision, aphasia, balance, motor function, brain fog, etc. Regained was the ability to return to normal daily activities, including driving, day and night; cooking; computer work; keeping a checkbook; making reservations, etc. After treatment, leg strength and balance improved, the ability to go up and down stairs without using the handrail returned, peripheral vision improved, shoulder range of motion improved, brain fog went away, and speech improved.

Perispinal Etanercept for Traumatic Brain Injury

Posted on
by INR PLLC

“Perispinal Etanercept for Traumatic Brain Injury” is Chapter 7 of the medical textbook New Therapeutics for Traumatic Brain Injury. See the abstract and links below:

“Abstract
Brain dysfunction after traumatic brain injury (TBI) may involve a persistent neuroinflammatory response that can last for years following acute brain insult. This neuroinflammatory response may include microglial activation and persistence of excess levels of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) in the brain, resulting in perturbation of brain function. TNF, in addition to its role as the master regulator of the inflammatory response, is a key regulator of synaptic function in the brain. Experimental data suggest that etanercept, a selective TNF inhibitor, may ameliorate microglial activation; modulate the adverse synaptic effects of excess TNF; and favorably intervene in basic science models of TBI, stroke, subarachnoid hemorrhage, and Alzheimer’s disease. Perispinal administration is a therapeutic method designed to use the cerebrospinal venous system to enhance selective delivery of etanercept across the blood–cerebrospinal fluid barrier. Increasing clinical data suggests that perispinal etanercept (PSE) has therapeutic utility for treatment of selected brain disorders associated with elevated TNF, including chronic neurological dysfunction following stroke and various forms of brain injury. PSE is an emerging treatment modality for TBI.”
