[{"type":"text","content":"122 Subject, Multicenter, Double-Blind, Randomized, Clinical Trial Finds PoNS Treatment™ found Significant Improvement in Balance and Gait Deficits for Individuals Who Have Experienced a Mild-to-Moderate Traumatic Brain Injury\nNEWTOWN, Pa., April 30, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Helius Medical Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:HSDT) (TSX:HSM) (“Helius” or the “Company”), a neurotech company focused on neurological wellness, today announced that its registrational clinical trial, TBI-001, was published on April 29, 2020 in Neuromodulation: Technology at the Neural Interface. The TBI-001 trial found that PoNS Treatment™ provided significant improvement in balance in patients with a chronic balance deficit following a mild-to-moderate traumatic brain injury (“mmTBI”).\n This newly-published, 122 subject, multicenter, double-blind randomized clinical trial, found that the PoNS Treatment, which pairs translingual neurostimulation using the Portable Neuromodulation Stimulator (PoNS™) device with therapeutic activities, significantly improves balance and gait. Conducted by researchers at 7 clinical sites across the US and Canada, this trial, which was completed in 2017, is the second double-blind, randomized clinical trial to demonstrate the level of balance improvement PoNS Treatment provides to patients suffering from chronic balance deficit as a result of a mild-to-moderate traumatic brain injury. For more information on the TBI-001 trial and its results, see the published journal article. “Whether traumatic brain injuries are mild, moderate or severe, the devastating effects can last a lifetime,” said Philippe Deschamps, Chief Executive Officer of Helius Medical Technologies. “We are excited to announce the publication of this 122 subject, multicenter, double-blind, randomized, clinical trial in a peer-reviewed journal and believe that it provides important clinical support for the PoNS Treatment as new, novel, valuable treatment option for patients suffering from the effects of mmTBI.” The PoNS Treatment involves the use of the PoNS device in conjunction with therapeutic activities. The PoNS device sits on the surface of a patient’s tongue and delivers mild, gentle electrical impulses to the surface of the tongue. These impulses excite the neural network flowing to the brain. This neural activity, combined with therapeutic activities, is be...
