Current trends in Preliminary Cerebral Protection after Traumatic Brain Injury

Neurofeedback for Traumatic Brain Injury: Current Trends

Traumatic brain injuries constitute significant health and societal problems which can be ameliorated with some recent developments in neurofeedback. The field of neurofeedback has evolved from single channel to multiple-site training, and with LORETA Z-score training, deeper levels of the brain can reached. Neurofeedback for traumatic brain injury patients may provide improvements never before...

Current status of cerebral protection with mild-to-moderate hypothermia after traumatic brain injury.

PURPOSE OF REVIEW The aim of this article is to review the current status of protective effects of mild-to-moderate hypothermia on traumatic brain injury. RECENT FINDINGS More than 30 clinical studies have reported effects of therapeutic hypothermia on outcome of traumatic brain injury and cerebral ischemia. Only one clinical trial of short-term mild hypothermia did not show any effect in pat...

Severe cerebral vasospasm after traumatic brain injury.

Severe traumatic brain injury is associated with both acute and delayed neuro- logical injury. Cerebral vasospasm is commonly associated with delayed neurological decline in aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage patients. However, the role played by vasospasm in traumatic brain injury is less clear. Vasospasm occurs earlier, for a shorter duration, and often without significant neurological conseq...

Cerebral Microvascular Injury in Traumatic Brain Injury

Traumatic cerebral vascular injury (TCVI) is a frequent, perhaps universal, feature after traumatic brain injury (TBI) and may be responsible for for some TBI-related chronic disabilities. Because there are multiple pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic therapies that promote vascular health, TCVI is an attractive target for therapeutic intervention after TBI. The cerebral microvasculature (CMV) ...
