They are certainly "mum" about the identity of this drug...which is already on the market.
I'm still searching for it. Finding other articles, but still no details.

The "approved" drug is not mentioned anywhere I could see.

I couldn't find it either. I'll ask the neuro who is a MS specialist at new hospital I'm trying. Couldn't get appt. until 5/25. The hospital is a teaching hospital with a neuro clinic.

Lacosamide=Vimpat:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth/PMH0000506/ In the study which Sally found, it was injected directly into the brains of the animals. I wonder if this will ultimately end up helping TBI patients too? Good work Sal!

It sure would be nice to know. I suppose the drug companies must profit from this and thus make it secret until it's patented. Sounds like an important discovery!
