So if there is no evidence based therapy for TBI patients what the hell do you do with them? Get your doctor to get the article, the abstract is worthless.

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) remains a leading cause of mortality and
morbidity worldwide. No effective pharmacological treatments are
available for TBI because all phase II/III TBI clinical trials have
failed. This highlights a compelling need to develop effective
treatments for TBI. Endogenous neurorestoration occurs in the brain
after TBI, including angiogenesis, neurogenesis, synaptogenesis,
oligodendrogenesis, and axonal remodeling, which may be associated with
spontaneous functional recovery after TBI. However, the endogenous
neurorestoration following TBI is limited. Treatments amplifying these
neurorestorative processes may promote functional recovery after TBI.
Thymosin beta 4 (Tβ4) is the major G-actin–sequestering molecule in
eukaryotic cells. In addition, Tβ4 has other properties including
antiapoptosis and anti-inflammation, promotion of angiogenesis, wound
healing, stem/progenitor cell differentiation, and cell migration and
survival, which provide the scientific foundation for the corneal,
dermal, and cardiac wound repair multicenter clinical trials. Here, we
describe Tβ4 as a neuroprotective and neurorestorative candidate for
treatment of TBI.
