Editorial:

New Hope for Survivors of Stroke and Traumatic Brain Injury. Clark, I., CNS Drugs, 2012. 26(12): p. 1071-2;

Randomized Clinical Trial:

Phase I/II parallel double-blind randomized controlled clinical trial of perispinal etanercept for chronic stroke: improved mobility and pain alleviationS. J. Ralph, et.al.Expert Opin Investig Drugs, 2020: p. 1-16. Conclusions: Perispinal etanercept can provide significant and ongoing benefits for the chronic post-stroke management of pain and greater shoulder flexion by the paretic arm. Effects are rapid and highly significant, supporting direct action on brain function.
