It seems the scientific and medical communities are pulling out all the stops in an effort to find a treatment for traumatic brain injury (TBI). Some believe there are several reasons for the urgency when confronting TBI, including:

Well, there’s some hope emerging as the first electrical stimulation trial dubbed “Electroceutical Therapy” is being conducted in an attempt to reduce brain injuries and swelling.

“We believe our technology, whose proven mechanism of action is the suppression of inflammation, has the potential to change the treatment of central nervous system disorders where neuroinflammation propagates injury such as ischemic stroke, Alzheimer’s disease, and multiple sclerosis,” said Endonovo Therapeutics chief executive officer Alan Collier in a press release.1

Myth 1: All of the symptoms of TBIs will be present immediately.

TBI Myths Debunked

TBI Myths Debunked

Wrong! TBIs can have latent symptoms that may take hours or days to present themselves after the injury was sustained. This can present a challenge both for:

Myth 2: TBIs are not a common injury.

Wrong again! More than 2.5 million people in the U.S. suffer a new traumatic brain injury each year, according to the latest data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). On any given day, about 153 people in the U.S. die from a TBI.

While any number of events or accidents can cause TBIs, most TBIs in the U.S. are caused by:

Playing high-contact sports and serving in the military (and being exposed to explosions) are also common ways that people can sustain TBIs.

Myth 3: Anyone can fully recover from a mild TBI.

Also wrong! While some who sustain mild TBIs (also referred to as concussions) can achieve full recoveries, full recovery is not guaranteed – nor is there a predictable timeframe regarding how long recovery will take. This is largely due to the facts that:

What can be stated in terms of full recoveries is that they are more likely to occur when TBIs are promptly diagnosed and quickly treated.

Myth 4: Younger, active people have a greater risk of TBI than older people.

Wrong again! Those with the greatest risk of suffering a TBI include people who are 75 and older. This demographic has a high risk of falling, which is the leading cause of TBIs (in people over 45 and children younger than 14).

For the elderly demographic, some helpful ways to prevent falls (at home) and minimize the risk of TBIs include (but are not limited to):

7 Important Facts to Know about TBIs

7 Important Facts to Know about TBIs

The Facts about TBIs

  1. TBIs account for 1 in every 3 injury-related deaths – About 50,000 people in the U.S. die due to TBI complications every year in the U.S. Every day, that means that about 153 people are dying from TBIs.
  2. Falls are the number one cause of TBIs in the U.S. – Those who are most likely to experience falls and, consequently, suffer a TBI include children younger than 14 and adults older than 45. These falls can include same-level falls, like a slip and fall accident, or falls from heights, like falling down stairs.
  3. The head does not have to make contact with another object in order to cause a TBI – If a jolt or force is strong enough to shake the brain, it can cause the brain to smash into the side of the skull, causing damage and a TBI. Violent whiplash (in a motor vehicle wreck), for instance, can be a source of such force.
  4. Even mild TBIs can have enduring impacts – Mild TBIs, also known as concussions, can have treatable, fleeting symptoms, but that does not mean that there may not be lasting consequences. In fact, recent studies have indicated that mild TBIs can have cumulative effects.
  5. Sleeping problems, persisting headache and nausea/vomiting are common signs of TBIs – In younger children, symptoms of TBI can include inconsolable crying, refusal to nurse or eat, as well as nausea and vomiting.
  6. TBIs can increase the risk of other health complications – Those who sustain traumatic brain injuries can have a greater risk of developing other brain disorders, as well as epilepsy, Parkinson’s disease and Alzheimer’s disease.
  7. There are ways to prevent TBIs – For example, wearing helmets during sports or at work and wearing seatbelts when driving are two highly effective ways to reduce the risk of TBI. Another great way to prevent TBIs is to install certain safety features at home, particularly in the homes of the elderly, who are more likely to fall.
