Unfortunately, the AIDS treatment comparison does not work well. It costs $250,000 for a lifetime AIDS treatment protocol. AIDS is a life-threatening illness. It has a huge push to make treatments available. Supporting AIDS has become a Politically Correct effort

mTBI does not have that PC push. Since it is not life threatening, just life changing, the limits to how much can and will be spent by health insurance companies will always be the biggest obstacle. The concept of 'medically necessary treatment' will always be getting in the way. A part of the medically necessary definition relates to effectiveness. If there are not studies to show wide spread effectiveness of a treatment, it is often considered experimental and not covered by insurance. If a prescribing doctor can not justify the treatment, it will be disallowed.

Until there is some sort of funding mechanism, new treatments will be limited to those with deep pockets.
