Successful New TBI Treatment

Studies are starting to mount which indicate a high beneficial course of treatment for those suffering from TBI. A combination of therapy of simvastatin and bone marrow stromal cells (MSCs) showed improved functional outcome in rats after traumatic brain injury. The improvement was long lasting and showed that the stromal cells had permanently attached themselves in the injured brain of the rats, leading to increased healing. These two treatments used together will hopefully be available to human patients within two or three years and should improve the functional outcome of all patients after TBI.
