Study Shows Promise for Traumatic Brain Injury Patients Relearning Memory Skills |
|
When someone suffers a traumatic brain injury , that person can face many different types of struggles and problems as he or she attempts to recover from that injury. One of those problems is the loss of memory, and this loss of ability can profoundly impact someone’s life in many different ways. Medical researchers have been looking for ways to help people in this position overcome this loss, and the preliminary results of a new study show promise in this regard. Specifically, researchers in Texas studied snails and put a control group and a study group through different memory drill protocols. The control group was trained at 20-minute intervals, but the study group was trained at irregular intervals based on computer calculations of a rise in the presence of certain brain proteins. The study group showed a much better performance than the control group in terms of their exercises, and researchers hope that this same protein measurement can help those who suffer from traumatic brain injuries. Traumatic Brain Injury StatisticsFirst and foremost, we’d like to express our hope that this and any other study that improves the prognoses and the lives of people who suffer a traumatic brain injury can achieve those goals soon. People who have endured a traumatic brain injury suffer greatly. In addition, these advancements could help some of the 85,000 people per year in the United States who face long-term disability as a result of traumatic brain injuries. That does not include the 50,000 people who are killed because of them.
