About Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBIs)
Symptoms
- Mild TBI (concussion): Headache, dizziness, fatigue, nausea, photophobia, concentration difficulty, sleep disturbance, mood irritability (appears immediately or delayed).
- Moderate to Severe TBIs: Vomiting, seizures, unequal pupils, clear CSF rhinorrhea/otorrhea, prolonged LOC (Loss of Consciousness) >30 min or >24hr respectively, focal deficits, and post-traumatic amnesia < or > 7 days respectively.
- Cognitive: Memory impairment, executive dysfunction, processing speed reduction.
- Chronic: Post-concussion syndrome, CTE (progressive neurodegeneration). IN ACUTE INJURIES, CALL 911 AND SEEK IMMEDIATE EMERGENCY MEDICAL ASSISTANCE IN SUSPECTED TBIs. ONCE CLEARED BY THE EMERGENCY MEDICAL PERSONNEL – GET INTEGRATIVE TREATMENT IMMEDIATELY TO QUELL OR PREVENT THE LONG-TERM SECONDARY CASCADE INJURY EFFECTS.
Causes / Effects
- Primary: Direct mechanical force causing brain / nervous system dysfunction and/or injury leading to crainialcervical instability
- Secondary Cascade Injury (Hours-Days Post Impact):
- Excitotoxicity: glutamate surge – Ca2+ influx – neuronal cell death
- Ischemia: contusion expansion and cerebral perfusion pressure drop
- Inflammation: microglial activation and blood-brain barrier breakdown
- Mitochondrial Failure: ATP cellular energy depletion and reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation
- Apoptosis: secondary neuronal loss peaks day 3-7
