Odyssey Health (OTC: ODYY), a medical company with a focus in the area of life-saving medical solutions, has developed a fully synthetic, non-naturally occurring neurosteroid known as PRV-002 intended to treat concussion or mild traumatic brain injury (“mTBI”). “Designed to be administered within a few minutes of a concussive episode, PRV-002 induces an intracellular steroid receptor in brain cells, with the stimulation of this receptor activating multiple gene response elements that promote transcription of anti-inflammatories, antioxidants and efflux channels that remove excess fluid and debris. To put it simply, PRV-002 is intended to reduce swelling, oxidative stress and inflammation, and restore proper blood flow, effects that often arise from mechanical injury to the brain,” reads a recent article that contains excerpts from Odyssey’s white paper. “It’s time to find a treatment for concussion that expedites the return to work, play, school, and military duty; a treatment that can reduce the likelihood of long-term disease. Better helmets and rule changes can assist but will not prevent concussion. However, if the Odyssey drug candidate can reduce the pathological cascade of molecular events that occur in the acute phase of the injury, a substantial improvement in patient outcomes can be achieved in athletic and military settings as well as other commonplace occurrences for concussion.”
