HPN has been reported to be useful for treating stroke [Snook]. Dr. Weyrich has been trained in the use of Neuro-Gen High Performance Neuromodulation system by it's inventor, Corey Snook. However, Dr. Weyrich has not treated any cases of stroke with this technique.

Please see What is Neuro-Gen High Performance Neuromodulation? for more information.
