Based on PathMaker’s DoubleStim technology, MyoRegulator has been designed to deliver simultaneous non-invasive stimulation at spinal and peripheral sites in order to suppress hyperexcitable spinal circuits associated with spasticity.
As part of the collaboration, WeHealth will provide funding support to an ongoing clinical trial being conducted in Europe to assess the neuromodulation device for non-invasive treatment of spasticity secondary to stroke.
WeHealth also agreed to fund another larger European trial meant to support reimbursement coverage.
WeHealth by Servier general director David Guez said: “The MyoRegulator device has clear and groundbreaking benefits for patients with serious neurological conditions.
