HALO™ Clarity Devices Successfully Shipped for First Phase of Clinical Trials

HOUSTON, TX, Feb. 28, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Nexalin Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq: NXL; NXLIW) (the “Company” or “Nexalin”) the leader in Deep Intracranial Frequency Stimulation (DIFS™) of the brain, today announced that following Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval, the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) has received the first shipment of HALO™ Clarity devices to commence its  clinical trial evaluating the treatment of mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in military personnel and the civilian population. Patient recruitment for the study is now set to begin immediately.

This milestone follows the successful IRB approval, pilot testing and evaluation of Nexalin’s Halo technology at UCSD. The study will evaluate Nexalin’s proprietary Deep Intracranial Frequency Stimulation (DIFS™) technology, which delivers non-invasive deep-brain stimulation without the use of drugs or invasive procedures.

The initial devices have been randomized and integrated with Nexalin’s app-controlled remote monitoring system, ensuring seamless oversight of treatment adherence and progress. An additional 40-50 HALO devices will be delivered as the study progresses.

Key Advantages of the HALO™ Clarity Device Include:

  • Non-Invasive Therapy – A drug-free alternative for neurological and mental health conditions, reducing side effects associated with traditional treatments.

  • At-Home Convenience – Designed for easy use in a home setting, increasing patient compliance and accessibility.

  • AI-Integrated Remote Monitoring – Enables real-time data capture and physician oversight through Nexalin’s advanced Electronic Data Capture (EDC) platform and Patient Monitoring System (PMS).

Mark White, CEO of Nexalin Technology, stated, “The initiation of patient recruitment marks a major milestone in the validation of our HALO Clarity device for TBI and PTSD treatment. UCSD’s independent study is a crucial step in demonstrating the transformative potential of our Deep Intracranial Frequency Stimulation (DIFS) technology for military personnel and others affected by these conditions. With this deployment, we are moving closer to making non-invasive deep brain stimulation an accessible, real-world solution for those in need.”

David Owens, CMO of Nexalin Technology, added, “We are delighted to see the first HALO devices in place for clinical use. The combination of DIFS technology with our advanced virtual clinic model enables real-time tracking of patient progress while providing a seamless, patient-centered treatment experience. We look forward to the data from this study as we continue to push the boundaries of neurostimulation for neurological and mental health care.”
