TY - JOUR PY - 2018// TI - Non-invasive diagnosis and treatment strategies for traumatic brain injury: an update JO - Journal of Neuroscience Research A1 - Joseph, Bellal A1 - Khan, Muhammad A1 - Rhee, Peter SP - 589 EP - 600 VL - 96 IS - 4 N2 - PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) remains the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in U.S. Since the last decade, there have been several advances in the understanding and management of TBI that have shown the potential to improve outcomes. The aim of this review is to provide a useful overview of these potential diagnostic and treatment strategies that have yet to be proven, along with an assessment of their impact on outcomes after a TBI. RECENT FINDINGS: Recent technical advances in the management of a TBI are grounded in a better understanding of the pathophysiology of primary and secondary insult to the brain after a TBI. Hence, clinical trials on humans should proceed in order to evaluate their efficacy and safety. SUMMARY: Mortality associated with TBI remains high. Nonetheless, new diagnostic and therapeutic techniques have the potential to enhance early detection and prevention of secondary brain insult.
