Beginning May 5, 2008:
Medical Devices and Off-Label Use
Innovative medical devices, like new drugs, have to be tested for safety and effectiveness with a particular condition. Joyce Graff interviews Glen Meidl of Bioness, Inc, about their medical devices for neuron stimulation to complement physical therapy and restore function following stroke, spinal cord injury, and traumatic brain injury. Brad Saul talks about his initiative in using this device to help restore function lost through Multiple Sclerosis, even though the FDA has not yet approved it for use with MS.
Joyce talks with Eve (not her real name) about her experience as a caregiver through her husband’s chronic illness and death. She then talks with Dr. Sheryl Baker about Eve’s experience, and about the changes that occur in the dynamics between the patient and the caregiver, and how we can all help the caregiver survive.
