ROCKAWAY, N.J., Oct. 10, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- electroCore, Inc. (Nasdaq: ECOR), a commercial-stage bioelectronic medicine and wellness company, today announced top line data from two abstracts being presented at the 15th World Stroke Congress held October 10-12, 2023, in Toronto, Canada on the possible role of nVNS in the treatment of acute neurological injuries.

Key Points: 
  • Our data suggests that nVNS is safe and effective in reducing pain and potentially the use of other acute pain medications, including opioids in the immediate aftermath of a SAH.
  • NOVIS is a prospective randomized clinical trial with blinded outcome assessment being conducted at the Leiden University Medical Center (Leiden, The Netherlands).
  • 150 patients with ischemic stroke are being randomly allocated (1:1) to nVNS for five days in addition to standard treatment versus standard treatment alone.
  • The strong mechanistic rational for nVNS as a potentially neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory treatment for acute neurological injury is further supported by this data showing the continued efficacy of nVNS for the treatment of pain.
