HAS ANYBODY heard of PONS device (Portable Neuro stimulator°) decribed in "The BRAIN'S WAY WAY OF HEALING "by Norman DOIDGE ,?
As far as I know , it is produced by Helius Laboratory in Canada.but not yet for sale . It is aimed to be used for different brain's troubles including parkinson disease. Thanks Codialy
Yes. I read the book and searched for current info and discovered the FDA has yet to approve in USA pending more study. It is being used in Canada. A study is being done at Baylor in Dallas.
The device is used along with physical therapy.
Yes have read about it and in combination with physical therapy has shown great promise: although right what wifey4u says being tested. I’ve asked the question of my mums neurologist if she’s knows any trials in uk but haven’t heard back
Yes I have studied the pons device and follow its development but the FDA did not approve it. It is in use in Canada.
Most of the research currently underway is with Trumatic brain injury and gait disturbance. The military has shown great interest in this device. Some research has been done on people with MS but is far as I know none has been done for people with Parkinson's. One little sidenote I Purchased shares in this company when they were $9 a share and now they are worth $2. 😱
Yes I participated in one of the PONS device studies at the U of Wisconsin, Madison a year after I was diagnosed with PD (2011). There were only a few (10) of us with PD and I don't think there was a very dramatic response to the device which was not fun to use. Three times a day we walked on the tread mill, balanced on a rubber mat, and meditated with this plastic thing we had to put on our tongue and grip with our lips and teeth. I heard that they were trying the device with brain injuries, esp. military and had a better response from that group. At that time they were trying it on MS patients and people who had vestibular (balance) difficulties. Wish it would have worked.
