Can Early Treatments Limit Long Term Brain Damage for TBI Victims in Kansas City?

New research on the progression of traumatic brain injuries show that the long term damage continues to get progressively worse over a long period of time.  According to research conducted by Professor Terry O'Brien of the University of Melbourne in Australia, the tests showed that the injury continues to worsen over a period of months not days, as peviously believed.

 

The University conducted research on animals using pet scans and MRI scans to map the brains progression following a severe head injury.  The good news is that O'Brien's research also showed there is a significant window of treatment time at the onset of injury and if these traumatic brain injuries can be identified there is a greater chance of preventing long term damage to the brain.
