At the Institute of Neurological Recovery (INR), we evaluate and treat patients with chronic neurological conditions, including stroke and traumatic brain injury (TBI). Many individuals continue to experience neurological symptoms months or even years after their injury, despite rehabilitation and other therapies.
While every patient is unique and individual results vary, patients treated at our clinic have reported improvements in a wide range of chronic neurological symptoms including the following.
Stroke Pain
Chronic pain after stroke, sometimes called Central Post-Stroke Pain (CPSP), can develop when injury to the brain alters normal sensory processing. Symptoms may include burning pain, aching, tingling, hypersensitivity, or discomfort that persists long after the initial stroke.
Walking, Mobility & Balance
Many stroke survivors and brain injury patients experience difficulty walking, reduced mobility, impaired coordination, or abnormal gait patterns. Challenges with walking can affect independence, safety, and participation in everyday activities.
Aphasia & Speech
Communication problems are among the most frustrating long-term effects of stroke and brain injury. Patients may experience aphasia (difficulty understanding or producing language), dysarthria (slurred speech), word-finding difficulties, or reduced speech fluency.
Spasticity
Spasticity is a common neurological symptom characterized by increased muscle tone, muscle tightness, stiffness, and involuntary muscle contractions. It frequently affects the arms, hands, legs, and feet following stroke or traumatic brain injury.
Hand Function
Loss of hand function can make everyday tasks difficult, including writing, typing, eating, dressing, and grasping objects. Fine motor dysfunction, reduced dexterity, weakness, and impaired hand coordination are common neurological impairments following stroke and brain injury. These challenges can significantly impact independence and the ability to perform daily activities that require precise hand and finger movements.
Brain Fog & Cognition
Many patients report persistent brain fog following stroke or traumatic brain injury. Cognitive symptoms may include difficulties with memory, concentration, attention, processing speed, executive function, and mental clarity. Cognitive symptoms can significantly affect work, relationships, and quality of life.
Swallowing
Neurological injury can impair the muscles involved in swallowing, making eating and drinking more challenging. Dysphagia is a swallowing disorder that can occur after stroke or brain injury. Patients may experience difficulty swallowing food, liquids, or medications, which can affect nutrition, hydration, and quality of life.
Vision
Neurological injury can affect vision in many ways, including blurred vision, double vision (diplopia), visual field loss, difficulty focusing, and impaired visual processing. These symptoms can interfere with reading, driving, mobility, and daily activities.
Fatigue
Post-stroke fatigue is one of the most common and often overlooked neurological symptoms. Patients frequently describe overwhelming physical or mental exhaustion that is disproportionate to activity levels and does not improve with rest alone.
Sensation
Neurological injury can disrupt normal sensory function, leading to numbness, tingling, altered sensation, reduced touch perception, or abnormal sensory experiences known as paresthesia.
Hearing
Some patients experience hearing-related symptoms following neurological injury, including reduced hearing, difficulty processing sounds, or challenges understanding speech in noisy environments.
Taste
Changes in taste can occur following stroke or brain injury and may affect appetite, enjoyment of food, and overall quality of life. Some patients report improvements in taste perception after treatment.
Important Note
The Institute of Neurological Recovery evaluates and treats patients with chronic neurological conditions, including stroke and traumatic brain injury. These symptoms are often manifestations of underlying neurological dysfunction. Not every patient experiences the same symptoms, and individual results may vary.

Perispinal etanercept is a method of targeting detrimental neuroinflammation using etanercept, a special anti-inflammatory drug, delivered utilizing a novel, non-invasive injection method.
Perispinal etanercept is NOT experimental. Perispinal etanercept has been used to treat more than 5,000 chronic stroke patients since 2010 at the Institute of Neurological Recovery.
No, it is not too late. Neuroinflammation can last for years, or even decades, after brain injury. Life-changing neurological improvements following perispinal etanercept treatment performed weeks, months, years, or even decades after stroke or brain injury are not uncommon.
Referrals are not required. The Institute of Neurological Recovery has received, and welcomes, referrals from neurologists, speech pathologists, physical therapists, occupational therapists, primary care physicians, online stroke groups, and, of course, patients and their family members.
