The Company is a foreign private issuer based in Israel focused on pain treatment technologies.

Material Changes and Operational Status
Liquidation of THR: THR, which operated pain treatment clinics, anticipates commencing liquidation of its assets in the near future. This decision follows significant losses and a failure to maintain required operating licenses. The Company cannot currently estimate the timing or results of this liquidation.
iIND Program Status: The U.S. FDA cleared the iIND for THX-110 (treatment of chronic low back pain) in March 2018. However, enrollment has not been initiated as of the filing date. The Company is currently examining alternatives for conducting this program.
Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary

- Investigate the specific "alternatives" the Company is examining for the THX-110 iIND program given the lack of enrollment.
- Review the Company's most recent Form 20-F for detailed financial statements, as this 6-K does not contain full financial data.
- Assess the impact of THR's license failures on the Company's broader regulatory standing.
