Ancient Remedies for Modern Challenges: Traditional Therapies in Traumatic Brain Injury Management

Abstract

Traumatic brain injury is a global health concern due to its impact on disease and mortality. It is costly to manage because of prevention, diagnosis, and treatment challenges. At this time, no treatment can undo the effects of a severe brain injury. There aren't currently any big clinical successes with new preventative treatments for serious traumatic brain injuries. The article highlights TBI’s definition, causes, and global prevalence by age and gender. Diagnosis involves imaging, lab tests, and physical exams, while treatments include drugs, surgery, and complementary therapies like herbal medicine. It also covers synthetic drugs, recent advances like stem cells and neuroprotective strategies, and the limitations of animal models. Depending on the type of severe brain injury, treatment could either focus on fixing the problems that cause the secondary brain injury or on making the signs of the injury better. However, in many cases, the treatment should be complicated and include several different medical procedures and types of therapy.
