Decision

What the current evidence supports

Agent-assisted assessment · independently reviewed · 2026-10-09

Consider ARC-EX for appropriately screened rehabilitation programs within its cleared indication.

Why
Commercial treatment is expanding and small provider cohorts show measurable gains, while independent controlled evidence and long-term home outcomes remain limited.
Next
Use standardized baseline and follow-up measures, confirm the applicable labeling, and evaluate sustained functional benefit alongside treatment burden.

Constraints

Blockers

  • Eligibility is limited by injury characteristics and the applicable regulatory indication.
  • Treatment requires rehabilitation practice, individualized setup and sustained attendance.
  • Independent evidence for durable home-use benefit remains limited.
  • Small uncontrolled provider cohorts cannot predict individual response.
