Northstar brain therapy fails late-stage trial
Northstar Neuroscience says that a brain stimulation therapy intended to improve hand and arm function in stroke victims flunked a late-stage trial. Northstar's treatment uses electrical stimulation to the brain, but it failed to improve limb function by 20 percent, the primary goal of the trial. Seattle-based Northstar says it is unlikely that the data warrants FDA approval for that, but adds that it still has potential for other conditions, including depression and tinnitus.
