About the INR’s Pioneering Perispinal Etanercept Treatment for Neuroinflammation

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.

Perispinal etanercept is NOT a spinal injection. The small needle utilized is much too short to reach the spinal canal or the epidural space.

Yes, in addition to multiple clinical publications and published basic science research from U.S. and international academic centers, there is published RCT evidence (randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial data) that supports the scientific rationale, safety, and efficacy of perispinal etanercept.

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.

There is no upper age limit; the Institute of Neurological Recovery has treated patients up to age 100.

Yes, to date the Institute of Neurological Recovery has treated patients from 109 countries, from every state in the U.S., and from every populated continent.
