A new path to hope
Brainsgate is a medical device company committed to developing a novel treatment modality, electrical SPG stimulation. This platform technology has been shown to increase blood flow to the brain and as a result has broad potential for treating central nervous system disorders. BrainsGate is currently focusing on:
1. Improve the outcome of patients suffering from ischemic stroke, in a 24 hour window after onset of symptoms. 2. Long-term SPG stimulation for the treatment of vascular dementia patients.
