Dr. Patrick Nemechek reports on a promising clinical trial in the Journal of Clinical and Experimental Immunology
OVERLAND PARK, KANSAS, UNITED STATES, December 2, 2020 /EINPresswire.com/ — Nemechek Technologies is proud to announce publication of a peer-reviewed research article by its CEO, Patrick Nemechek D.O. Entitled, ‘Transcutaneous Vagus Nerve Stimulation is Associated with Lower Mechanical Ventilation and Mortality in COVID-19 Patients: An interim Safety Analysis’, the study reveals that transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation (tVNS) is safe and potentially beneficial for hospitalized patients with COVID-19 pneumonia. Patients meeting clinical criteria received tVNS therapy for 5 minutes 2-4 times per day with the Nemechek Technologies Vitality Smartcable® neuromodulator.
Patient outcomes included infrequent use of mechanical ventilation, and a high rate of survival. Interim analysis found the mortality rate and the frequency of mechanical ventilation to be less than almost all other large COVID-19 cohorts. The study, an ongoing single-arm, uncontrolled open-label, observational trial to assess (tVNS) in hospitalized SARS-CoV-2 infected subjects, is being conducted at…
