An injury to the brain can lead to long-term health problems affecting every aspect of daily life. Brain injuries are typically classified into two categories: traumatic and non-traumatic. Non-traumatic brain injuries are caused by internal factors, such as a stroke, while traumatic brain injuries are caused by an external force or blow to the head.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All brain injuries, often called invisible injuries because they can\u2019t be seen, carry social stigma and can lead to isolation. To better understand this devastating injury, it\u2019s important to know what is classified as traumatic brain injury, common short-term and long-term symptoms, treatment, and prevention.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"dklaw-toc__block align wp-block-dklaw-toc-block\"><div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Is Traumatic Brain Injury?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a type of injury that occurs when a sudden, external assault causes damage to the brain. This can happen as a result of a blow, bump, or jolt to the head or body, or from an object penetrating the skull and entering the brain tissue. Motor vehicle accidents are the second leading cause of traumatic brain injury, after falls.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are three main types of traumatic brain injury:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mild TBI<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Also known as a concussion, this type of TBI is caused by direct trauma to the head that causes the brain to move violently in the skull. Common symptoms that follow include headache, confusion, disorientation, blurry vision, or memory loss. While generally not life-threatening, concussions can be devastating if not treated properly.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Moderate TBI<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This type of TBI involves a longer period of unconsciousness (usually more than 30 minutes), as well as significant cognitive, emotional, and physical impairments. Imaging tests may show structural damage to the brain, and recovery can take weeks, months, or even years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Severe TBI<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This type of TBI is characterized by a prolonged period of unconsciousness (coma) or amnesia and has a high risk of long-term disability or death. Severe TBI requires urgent medical intervention and often involves extensive rehabilitation and ongoing care.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"dklaw-toc__block align wp-block-dklaw-toc-block\"><div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Are Common Symptoms of TBI?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The immediate aftermath of a brain injury is not always apparent. Some symptoms may appear right away, while others may appear hours or even days later. It\u2019s crucial to know the symptoms and seek medical attention if you experience any of these. Depending on the severity of the injury, some common symptoms of TBI include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list is-style-arrow-list\">\n<li>Dizziness or loss of balance<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Confusion<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Nausea or vomiting<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fatigue or drowsiness<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Problems with speech<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Blurred vision<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ringing in ears<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"dklaw-toc__block align wp-block-dklaw-toc-block\"><div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Are the Long-Term Effects of Traumatic Brain Injury?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After suffering a brain injury, some people may continue to experience symptoms for weeks or even months. Some common long-term effects of TBI include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list is-style-arrow-list\">\n<li>Seizures<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Memory loss\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Change in mood or behavior<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Frequent headaches<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Blood vessel damage<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Meningitis<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Severe injury to the brain can also lead to a wide range of cognitive, behavioral, communication, emotional, intellectual, and sensory problems, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list is-style-arrow-list\">\n<li><strong>Cognitive deficits:<\/strong>\u00a0TBI can cause long-term deficits in cognitive function, including memory, attention, concentration, and problem-solving.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Physical disabilities:<\/strong>\u00a0TBI can result in physical disabilities such as paralysis, difficulty with balance and coordination, and weakness or numbness in the extremities.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Emotional and behavioral changes:<\/strong>\u00a0TBI can cause emotional and behavioral changes, including depression, anxiety, irritability, and mood swings.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Communication difficulties:<\/strong>\u00a0TBI can cause difficulties with speech, language, and communication.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Seizures:<\/strong>\u00a0TBI can increase the risk of seizures, which may continue for months or years after the injury.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Insomnia:<\/strong>\u00a0TBI can disrupt the normal sleep-wake cycle, leading to difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Chronic pain:<\/strong>\u00a0TBI can cause chronic pain, especially headaches and migraines.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"dklaw-toc__block align wp-block-dklaw-toc-block\"><div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Is TBI Diagnosed?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The diagnosis of traumatic brain injury (TBI) typically involves a combination of physical exams, imaging tests, and cognitive assessments. These are some of the common methods used to diagnose TBI:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list is-style-arrow-list\">\n<li><strong>Neurological exam:<\/strong>\u00a0A neurologist will perform an exam to evaluate thinking, memory, hearing, vision, balance, reflexes, and coordination.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Imaging tests:<\/strong>\u00a0Imaging tests, such as MRI and CT scans, can provide detailed images of the brain to detect any bleeding or swelling.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Blood tests:<\/strong>\u00a0In 2018, the FDA approved a blood test that can identify two proteins, UCH-L1 and GFAP, released from the brain into the blood after a concussion. The test is effective up to 12 hours after the injury.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS):<\/strong>\u00a0GCS is a 15-point neurological test used to measure a person\u2019s level of consciousness following a TBI. It evaluates a person\u2019s ability to open their eyes, speak normally, and easily utilize motor skills. A higher score out of 15 indicates a less severe injury.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"dklaw-toc__block align wp-block-dklaw-toc-block\"><div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Is TBI Treated?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Treatment for TBI varies depending on the severity of the injury. Mild traumatic brain injuries usually require rest and over-the-counter pain relievers to treat headaches. However, someone with a mild TBI should be monitored closely for any worsening symptoms and should follow up with a doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moderate and severe TBI medication requires immediate emergency care. A doctor may prescribe\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mayoclinic.org\/diseases-conditions\/traumatic-brain-injury\/diagnosis-treatment\/drc-20378561\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">certain medications<\/a>\u00a0to prevent additional damage, such as anti-seizure drugs or coma-inducing drugs. Surgery may be needed to relieve pressure in the skull and stop bleeding in the brain.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Those who have suffered significant brain injury require rehabilitation to help with physical and cognitive recovery. Some people may need to relearn basic skills, such as walking or talking. Enlisting the help of a rehabilitation specialist is an important step in the treatment and recovery process.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"dklaw-toc__block align wp-block-dklaw-toc-block\"><div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Preventing TBI<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/dklaw.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/iStock-1131565031.jpg\" alt=\"Father helping son put his bicycle helmet on\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Those who have suffered a TBI are never the same.
