Treating TBI: Examining Optimal Treatment for those with Traumatic Brain Injuries

This sounds like a great dissertation that your doctor should be reading, and you should be influencing your doctoral students to write a similar paper on stroke. Except you should be interviewing the real professionals, the stroke survivors.

Abstract:

The question is often asked: What is the most effective treatment to recover from a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)? The answer to this question is sought in this position paper by interviewing professionals working in the field of TBI throughout the country and by dissecting the literature available on the efficacy of various treatments. The system currently in place throughout the VA network, Home and Community-Based Support (HCBS) TBI Medicaid Waivers facilitated in New York and 15 other states, as well as cognitive rehabilitation programs are examined to answer this question. While the very nature of TBI made it quite complicated to discern which approach would be most effective regardless of the type of brain injury sustained, the importance of contextual supports that are meaningful for the TBI survivor were determined to be the most effective.
