Dr. Wise, Have you contacted TIRR in Houston, Texas regarding clinical trials? I know they do allot of clinical trials and have been in the top 5 Rehab Institutes since the 80's. They helped Congresswoman Gifford and quite a few other celebrities/NFL players etc.

Keep up the good work

Thanks, JM

JM,

Thanks for the recommendation. I am very familiar with TIRR, of course. I think highly of them. Given that we don't have sufficient money for clinical trials and most institutions expect to be paid to run clinical trials, it is difficult to approach institutions to participate in trials. It would be a lot easier if we had the funds. Lots of hospitals would want to join, including TIRR.

Brackenridge had originally approached me two years ago to be involved in the trial. The Lone Star Foundation indicated their interest in supporting the trial. In fact, Governor Rick Perry indicated his support of the trial. They have a very good "recovery center" that was interested and willing to test the intensive walking training. They sent doctors to China to observe the surgery and walking program.

We held an Open House in Austin about 2 years ago and talked about doing the trial in Austin to the community. The community has been waiting patiently for the trial. For that reason, I don't want to give up yet, even though we currently lack a principal investigator and surgeon for the trial. I am sure that we can find others. We also need to raise the funds.

Wise.

When I learned that the trial was in danger of not happening, I emailed Gov. Perry. I'm not sure what he or the governor's office could do. I haven't heard back, yet.

Dr. Wise, Thank you for responding. I had 2 phases on TIRR's step program and gained some fuction in my lower left abdomen and can feel when my bladder is full. It was hard work, but well worth it! Next time I see my SCI Specialist at TIRR I am going to let them know about your research. I dream of tthe day I can wiggle my toes, keep up the good work. JM

We are still hoping to get that trial going in Brackenridge Hospital in Texas. However, much depends whether we are able to find appropriate principal investigators for that trial.

In the meantime, we are planning to start a clinical trial in New Jersey.
