Did you try the suggestion about trying to propagate it? If that didn't work (and you haven't really given it enough time) you could try cutting off the whole of the leafless stem and hoping it will grow up again from the part that still looks healthy.
What conditions are you growing it in, ie position, temperature, moisture.

They don't like being moved and they need lots of light, best in an east or west facing window at this time of year (morning or evening sun) and they need a minimum of 55 deg. F. (13 deg C). Water with room temperature water when the top of the compost feels dry.
As it's an old plant it might also benefit from repotting in fresh compost if you haven't already done so - but it won't recover overnight.
