Pain and traumatic brain injury
Acute Pain, 2007For the patient who has sustained traumatic brain injury (TBI), understanding the problem and listening to and believing the patient are prerequisites to treating pain. Because the information provided may be limited, communication skills problematic, and consistency variable, the challenge of treating individuals with TBI and pain can be daunting ...

Pharmacology of traumatic brain injury
Current Opinion in Pharmacology, 2003The intensity of experimental and clinical research to identify a neuroprotective drug for the treatment of traumatic brain injury is motivated by the devastating morbidity and mortality of this condition. Encouraging experimental work has led so far to disappointing clinical trials and the identification of new potential therapeutic targets is ...

Biomarkers in Traumatic Brain Injury
Current Neurology and Neuroscience Reports, 2012Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a common cause of neurological morbidity globally, and neurologic sequelae may occur even in the setting of mild injury. At present, the tools that guide diagnostic and prognostic evaluation of patients who suffer from TBI remain limited, especially for prehospital evaluation.

Neuroprotection in traumatic brain injury
Drug Discovery Today, 2008The management of traumatic brain injury (TBI) is challenging and there is a need for neuroprotective therapies. A better understanding of the pathomechanism of TBI, particularly of the evolution of secondary damage, is providing targets for new approaches and selected ones in clinical development are described.

Traumatic and nontraumatic brain injury
2013The neurological consequences of an acquired brain injury (ABI), of traumatic or nontraumatic origin, are caused by an alteration of neuronal activity that compromises physical integrity or function of one or more areas of the brain. Impairments resulting from an ABI often affect cognitive function, as well as language, memory, attention, and ...

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) results in short and long-term mental health syndromes that can affect patients for years after injury. The mental health disorders associated with moderate to severe brain trauma have been well established, but emerging evidence clearly suggests that even mild injuries can lead to transient and/or permanent disabilities in

Neuropharmacology in Traumatic Brain Injury
Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Clinics of North AmericaOne of the primary goals in traumatic brain injury (TBI) treatment is to minimize secondary brain damage and promote neuroprotection. In TBI rehabilitation, we seek to facilitate neurologic recovery and restore what independence is possible given a patient's physical and cognitive impairments.
