Recruitment Under Way for Phase I Clinical Trials: PTSD & SCI

The Texas Biomedical Device Center (TxBDC) at The University of Texas at Dallas received FDA approval to proceed with two studies using the ReStore Vagus Nerve Stimulator. The first study will use ReStore to enhance recovery following a spinal cord injury. The second study will use ReStore to enhance prolonged exposure therapy for treating Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
