Clinical Trial
Portable Neuromodulation Stimulator (PoNS®) Therapy for Gait and Balance Deficits in Chronic Stroke Survivors: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
ClinicalTrials.gov6/12/2024·06/12/24🌐 Global
Summary
This study evaluates the Portable Neuromodulation Stimulator (PoNS) device therapy for improving gait and balance in chronic stroke survivors. The non-invasive device delivers mild electrical stimulation to the tongue during physical therapy exercises to enhance neuroplasticity and motor recovery.
Why it matters
The PoNS device represents a unique neuromodulation approach targeting the cranial nerves via the tongue. As a portable take-home device paired with rehabilitation, it could democratize access to neuromodulation-enhanced therapy for the millions of chronic stroke survivors with persistent gait deficits.
