(Nasdaq: NXL) (the “Company” or “Nexalin”), the leader in Deep Intracranial Frequency Stimulation (DIFS™) of the brain, today announced another publication of a peer-reviewed study in BMC Psychiatry reporting that Nexalin’s DIFS 77.5 Hz high-gamma approach was associated with statistically significant reductions in self-injury behaviors and depressive symptoms in female adolescents with non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI). The study also reported measurable changes in brain-network activity and connectivity, providing additional neurophysiological evidence supporting Nexalin’s non-invasive, high-power DIFS technology. The article, titled, “High-gamma tACS may regulate brain network connectivity to alleviate symptoms in female adolescent non-suicidal self-injury: a preliminary TMS-EEG pilot study,” evaluated six female adolescent patients who received 21 days of 77.5 Hz, 15 mA stimulation using a Nexalin Technology, Inc. device. According to the publication, patients showed statistically significant improvements in depressive symptoms and self-injury behaviors, with benefits persisting through follow-up assessments. The paper further found changes in functional connectivity across emotional-control networks, including Default, Limbic, Salience/Ventral Attention, and Control networks. Nexalin continues to publish scientific data with neuroimaging and biomarker evidence establishing clinical relevance of its high-power 15 mAmp waveform that supports its DIFS technology. Nexalin’s continued establishment of scientific biomarkers challenges the status quo of all current neurostimulators and the Company believes it positions Nexalin technology to become the world’s leader in non-invasive neurostimulation of the whole brain for the treatment of mental health disorders. Key findings reported in the publication include: Significant improvement in HAMD-24 depression scores after treatment and through follow-upSi...
