I must say that as a Nurse who has worked with Post Stroke patients for many years I do know that the Neurological Society has a lot to lose if this injection works ...there is a ton of money to be made for rehabilitation of post stroke patients. Let's do a National study to prove whether or not this drug actually works, and let's do it soon!!!

Who cares as long as the victim is cured

Man, if the placebo effect can eradicate 99% of stroke symptoms we need more placebo effect!

you aren't going to get placebo effect with a person that cannot walk and is then able to walk right away

I took my brother to Boca Raton during COVID after living over a year after his second stroke. He felt like he couldn't live like this anymore and it was worth the try. I watched him recover with my own eyes. It was like a miracle. It really does work.

How after over 10 years now, has the medical community not seriously looked into this?

This was a great overview of this subject I only recently learned about. But while "placebo effect" is of course always a valid concern,  have difficulty understanding how one could "placebo effect" themselves out of the effects of a stroke, especially to the tune of 4 out of 5.

The fact that THEY so desperately want you to believe it doesn't work leads me to believe it does.

I know someone who had this treatment and recovered very well after 2 years of stroke.

AS MUCH AS I WOULD HAVE LIKED TO AVOID THIS MISERY. I HAD A STOKE. LOST. SO DAMN MUCH. IF THIS THING WORS I WILL WALK TO FLORIDA

Senior stroke victims don't have 10-20 years for youall to decide whether approved or not. If it brought the quality of life back to the way it was even for just a few years, I say YES! Unless there is something better for stroke patients.   It is a drug that has been approved, so I would take it ...if I was a stroke patient.

This lecture popped up next after a 60 Minutes report on the FL MD treating stroke patients. I would recommend if you haven't seen it please watch it. Placebo effect? When a woman couldnt speak functionally and mobilize as well gets the injection and had immediate results which shocked but overjoyed her family. She is back to her prestroke self. Idk as someone with a strong family stroke history and a RN I am thrilled to have stumbled upon that 60 min show just in case. I also know that most mainstream medicine doesn't believe in anything but allopathic treatment. If homeopathy works again it's placebo effect. Well I'm sure my limping sweet Sheltie had no knowledge of what I was giving him the day I put a homeopathic remedy under his tongue only to find him no longer limping upon my return home. Rimidyl nor aspirin had stopped his pain or limp. Aamof I adopted him because of his limp from ASPCA because no one would.
I get research and their doubleblind studies but if I'm critically ill I want the real deal not a sugar pill.😳

I just came from Florida and I got the shot and and my limping on my left leg is no longer limping and I walk  better than before. I really think that if I get one shot I will be better. This July 7th this year 2022

This would not be the first time that a drug that was created for one illness was found to be more effective for another. I do understand your skepticism, but I've seen the videos and find it hard to believe that they were faked-

More n more the world realize how evil n greedy the medical business have been

I would definitely do this drug if I had a stroke.

Thank you for the informative and well presented research and opinion. 22 month out from massive hemmorrhagic stroke in June of '21. I gotsooo  lucky considering the scope/size! Am I, who lost my job and now live with hemiparesis, willing to prisk  $5k on an 80% chance I might be able to go back to work and use my shop again? I sure am.

As some from a family of health professionals, a  pharma scientist who works in drug discovery and other facets of care value chain, I understand your points. But as someone whose father also a health practioner has had stroke for years now, I really want to try this treatment on him.

On a side note, if the placebo effect is so profound and can help get results in difficult cases then it should be accepted and used from a scientific point of view

This treatment has been in the medical domain for 15 years and has gone through the VERY type of clinical trials mentioned here .AND  there have been THREE PHASES of the clinical trials with several articles validating the perispinal  injection of etanercept treatment efficacy AND STILL the "Good Ol' Boys" network at the AAN , fearing a reduction in THEIR "stroke treatment" billings CONTINUES to withhold their acceptance and endorsement of this TREATMENT over their use of expensive "rehabilitation programs".

I care!  We have tried so many things, and very few have given relief and recovery.
My son, Soda Pop, suffered a massive TBI followed by stroke in 2010.
He is now 19.
We are looking at this again.
This is so hard to do. We try, it doesn't work, and we try again.
It is never ending.
Some things we have tried have worked to more or less degrees.
I am well aware of the seduction of these employments.
We will keep this channel informed.
