  • Q&A with Australian Health Practitioners

    Are there any Australian stroke patients who have had success with perispinal injections?

    I have heard that perispinal injections with Etanercept can reverse the effects of long term stroke-related disabilities.

    My research interests include immunology and the mechanisms of amyloid formation. The latter has implications for people who are dealing with Alzheimer's Disease, Parkinson's Disease … View Profile

    My understanding is that Etanercept does not currently have approval for management of stroke-related health issues in Australia.

    However, there is a local clinical trial which will assess its efficacy in this context; http://www.griffith.edu.au/health/menzies-health-institute-queensland/research/stroke .

    Depending on the results of that trial, it might get approval.
