Michael Yochelson, MD, vice president of Medical Affairs, chief medical officer and a neurologist with MedStar NRH, appeared on WUSA9’s morning show Great Day Washington recently to discuss a new device called the Portable Neuromodulation Stimulator or PoNS™ device. The device is being used across the U.S. and Canada, including right here at MedStar National Rehabilitation Hospital in D.C., to test and see it’s effective with patients who have less severe traumatic brain injury. Talk show host Montel Williams, who suffers from Multiple Sclerosis, appeared in the segment with Dr. Yochelson as well and discussed how effective the device is in helping him with his ongoing balance issues. Those interested in signing up for the clinical trial, to see if you’re qualified, should go to: braininjurytrial.com/en/

This is available in Canada. In BC and in Montreal. I was so excited when it was approved here. I live in Montreal so I found the clinic and contacted them. Sooooooooo excited and hopeful I call them to ask about it. They tell me there are no guarantees but it should help. I'm thinking hey let's give it a go. So here I am feeling like I just might have a chance at feeling a little better and being able to walk properly. They tell me it is a 14 week program. Here is where my heart and any hope I had to walk was shattered. It costs $30,000.00 Just another example of the poor being pushed aside. MS stole my lively hood as well. So yah for the well off people. :(

Don't waste your money. It did nothing for me. I had no improvements after the 14 week program. I wish I had listened to others, but I just had big hopes of even small improvements. None.☹

My MS was finally diagnosed by Spinal Tap in 2016. My primary doctor thought my symptoms was related to diabetics. Needless to say after my new Nuro doctor confirmed, I have a NEW medical team for MS. I have taken Copaxzane Injections, Trysabri IV's,and done the first doses of Ocrevus (next one August 17th) Does not seem to be helping, I WANT in this trial, I live in Boise Idaho.

My MS was triggered by traumatic brain injury I believe. I would be willing to be a part of the trial but I live in Canada I don't know if it's open to people that live outside of the US.

Why?

@ZZ-ol6mp 3 года назад

It doesn't work. The clinical trials do not show significant improvements. In fact, I went through the program for 14 weeks. I had no improvements. I met many people from around the world and I didn't meet anyone who was getting any benefit.
