Chronic seizures caused by traumatic head injuries may result from chemicals released by the brain’s immune system attempting to repair the injured site, according to a study led by the University of Colorado at Boulder.  Studies like this are exciting because they give hope to further treatments for underlying conditions caused by traumatic brain injuries.  I marvel at the ability of my clients who have suffered brain injuries to cope with the myriad of different complexes that occur after such an event.  Whereas a broken leg is a broken leg and the victim of that has a definable limit on the rehabilitation process, brain injuries have so many clinical outcomes, including cognitive deficits, physical deficits, seizures, memory and organizational problems, that I am constantly amazed at how families and victims of brain injury cope with all of the different problems.  I like to keep up with the latest studies on brain injury treatment so that I can keep my clients and their families informed of the cutting edge of the TBI rehabilitative process.  To view the entire article surrounding this new study, please click HERE:
