Transcranial low-frequency pulsating electromagnetic fields (T-PEMF) as post-concussion syndrome treatment

Brain Injury/TBI, Pulsed Electro-Magnetic Field (PEMF) Therapy

A small but significant number of mild traumatic brain injuries (mTBI) result in development of persistent prolonged symptoms, including cognitive deficits, headaches, and mental fatigue. Such symptoms are called post-concussion syndrome (PCS), usually diagnosed according to the International Classification of Disease (ICD)-10 or the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorder (DSM)-IV. However, the concept…

Hyperbaric oxygen alleviates secondary brain injury after trauma through inhibition of TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway

Brain Injury/TBI, Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)

The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy of hyperbaric oxygen in secondary brain injury after trauma and its mechanism in a rat model. A rat model of TBI was constructed using the modified Feeney’s free-fall method, and 60 SD rats were randomly divided into three groups – the sham group, the untreated…
