Brain or Spinal Cord Injury
New treatment for Traumatic Brain Injury may save lives in Kansas City
Traumatic brain injury or TBI affects two million adults and children in the United States every year. Traumatic brain injury occurs when the head suddenly and violently hits an object or an object pierces the skull causing injury to the brain. Symptoms can be mild, moderate or severe depending on the extent of the damage. Each year, TBI leads to 80,000 new cases of long-term disability.
There is no effective treatment for TBI. The brain sometimes heals itself given time and therapy, but brain damage is often permanent. Now doctors are experimenting with an infusion that may save the brain.
Researchers at 17 centers around the U.S. recently expanded a double-blind study to test the effectiveness of a progesterone infusion on TBI. Progesterone is often thought of as a female hormone, but it is also a neurosteroid.
Doctors treating traumatic brain injury patients with an IV infusion of progesterone have seen dramatic results. In a study involving 100 patients with TBI, treatment with progesterone reduced death by 50% and reduced disability and improved the outcome in those with moderate injuries. The expanded study plans to enroll more than 1,100 patents over the next three years. Doctors are hopeful.
If your loved one has suffered serious brain injury in an accident, contact the Kansas City office of the Roswold Law Firm. Our personal injury attorneys have experience representing TBI victims and their families and we will work hard to get you the compensation you deserve.
