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.

The TBI improvement was like improving from a 12 GCS to a 13 GCS.
It helps with motor control. Motor control is a very primitive system compared to cognition.

Neurorehab has long been able to take a TBI victim from unable to walk to walking again and even from unable to communicate to talking again with enough therapy.

Cognitive rehabilitation is entirely different.The neural networks are far more complex.

BUT, brain surgery just to administer the treatment? Never going to happen for PCS and even more severe post concussion dysfunctions.

This recent study shows how stimulants reduce the benefits of sleep to store long term memories. They are counter-productive for study and as a general aid to people struggling with memory. They only help during the same day of study.
