Default Excellent NCBI Article on Current State of Brain Injury Diagnosis and Treatment

A really good, though lengthy, literature review of the current state of knowledge about pathophysiology of brain injury, imaging possibilities and their limitations, and guidelines for diagnosis, education, and symptomatic treatment. Highly recommended for doctors who are willing to be educated about mTBI and PCS. http://https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2424119/#!po=14.4295

A recent survey about the undiagnosed neck injuries associated with PCS. This article seems to strongly suggest that, in many cases of PCS, symptoms are entirely due to the neck injury rather than to the brain injury itself. For instance, the following sentence is quoted from the survey:

In addition, a prospective Norwegian study of 348 participants identified through a questionnaire that headaches persisting for more than 3 months after trauma and diagnosed as PCS are often related to a musculoskeletal pathology. In other words, the head or brain injury does not cause the persistent symptoms [23]. These results show the importance of potential cervical impairment in patients with mTBI [4, 14, 16, 17].

Default Ben Greenfield podcast + article links

Hello everyone,
I haven't been on here for a while as I very fortunately got my life back after a 2 year recovery period.
Anyhow, thought I'd share this with the community:

Ben Greenfield has a great health and fitness oriented podcast which I recommend per se.
Here are two very relevant episodes.
Also various useful links are contained in the show notes for each.

The Best Concussion and Head Injury Remedies

The Concussion Repair Manual: A Practical Guide to Recovering from Traumatic Brain Injuries

Plus you might want to check out this book on Amazon:
"Concussion Repair Manual"
The Concussion Repair Manual: A Practical Guide to Recovering from Traumatic Brain Injuries: Dr. Dan Engle: 9781946697349: Amazon.com: Books

All the best to you

Default Exercise helps recovery

Many of us have been wondering whether exercise can help with the recovery. Here is a recent randomized controlled trial that shows a positive effect of a light exercise program started as early as a few days after the concussion:

Default Brain treatments, includingCognitive FX : opinions ? I am looking into it for myself

I have had multiple concussions starting at the age of 5, through the age of 25. No, the parents were not abusers : I was very active in sports that were injury prone, and also was in a couple of car wrecks.

I am a looking into different therapies that claim to heal, retrain, or otherwise help the brain. The injuries were decades ago, and I'm not a kid anymore, so I am looking for people who have experience in being treated for old injuries.

Cognitive FX was mentioned my my physical therapist. A PT she knows sent her 17 year old football player son to FX, with great results . From what I've read- the results in younger people with newer injuries is far more noticeable ( no surprise there).

Any older folks with old head injuries and PERSONAL experience ( not hearsay, please) of treatments or cures, I would love to hear about your results and recommendations.

Has anyone been to Cognitive FX ?

Thanks for your help. I am considering investing almost $12000 in FX, but the reviews seem to all be on their website= suspicious ?

Please post this question in the main forum. You can start your own thread.

Yes, Cog FX is all about self-promotion.

I went to CFX, saw modest benefits.

HBOT is something i really wish I'd found early on. That's definitely something to do. Getting a home chamber and O2 concentrator would be good.

In terms of a cure, google SB623. It's going into Phase III trials for TBI with motor deficits. Once it's approved it's likely it will be used for other injury deficits.

Please take discussion to the main forum. Otherwise, links and such get lost.
btw, SB623 is failing in its clinical trials. It is designed for severe dysfunctions, not simple PCS.

It failed for stroke, not TBI. It has also helped stroke patients in miraculous ways, but didn't pan out overall in the larger trial.
