NEWTOWN, Pa., Feb. 06, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Helius Medical Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq:HSDT) (“Helius” or the “Company”), a neurotech company focused on delivering a novel therapeutic neuromodulation approach for balance and gait deficits, announced today that it has concluded its interaction with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) on optimizing the development plan for its stroke program which aims to evaluate the effects of cranial-nerve non-invasive neuromodulation (“CN-NINM”) delivered using PoNS Therapy® on gait and dynamic balance in chronic stroke survivors. Helius’ registrational program includes two controlled studies. The clinical program will leverage a randomized, controlled, double blinded investigator-initiated trial (“IIT”), led by Dr. Steven Kautz at the Medical University of South Carolina (“MUSC”) and a Company-sponsored study to enroll approximately 100 subjects. Dr. Kautz’s IIT began enrollment of 60 participants in September 2023 with the collaboration of Dr. Mark Bowden at Brooks Rehabilitation as a second site.

Key Points: 
  • “Vetting the registrational program and design of our clinical studies with the FDA is an important milestone for Helius and meeting the agency’s expectations will give us the most efficient path to delivering PoNS Therapy to stroke patients,” said Dr. Antonella Favit-Van Pelt, Helius’ Chief Medical Officer.
  • Across all stroke patients in the database, 69.2% of patients experienced at least a 5-point FGA improvement, which is larger than the 4.2-point minimal detectable change usually seen in stroke patients.
  • “One of our chief objectives is to optimize access to PoNS Therapy for stroke patients suffering from gait and balance deficit in North America.
  • PoNS received breakthrough designations in both multiple sclerosis and stroke in the United States, potentially benefiting, with a new indication, an estimated 90% of stroke patients who are covered by Medicare.

NAPLES, Fla., Aug. 17, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Today, the Foundation for Government Accountability (FGA) released a new research paper detailing the real impact of welfare expansion on its recipients, budgets, and America's labor market. At a moment when welfare spending has grown drastically, labor force participation has plummeted, creating a two-directional crisis: an economy with a shortage of workers, and a culture of welfare dependency that traps Americans for generations.

Key Points: 
  • Escaping the pit of dependency is possible, but it requires a serious focus on policies that work, not scare tactics that freeze people into inaction out of fear of falling off an imaginary cliff.
  • True welfare reform promotes work and earned income, which can lift millions out of dependency.
  • "If policymakers are serious about improving lives, they should concentrate on true welfare reform that promotes work and earned income, which can lift millions out of dependency."
