Abstrakt: One of the primary goals in traumatic brain injury (TBI) treatment is to minimize secondary brain damage and promote neuroprotection. In TBI rehabilitation, we seek to facilitate neurologic recovery and restore what independence is possible given a patient's physical and cognitive impairments. These goals must be balanced with treatment of the various symptoms that may occur following TBI. This is challenging given the fact that many of the typical treatments for certain symptoms also come with side effects which could be problematic in the TBI population.
