Common Pill Aids TBI Recovery

Progesterone, a component of birth control pills, has been shown to improve the neurological outcome for patients with severe head injuries according to The Journal of Critical Care. A Chinese study treated similarly injured patients for three to six months after severe brain injury. Significantly more patients given Progesterone had favorable outcomes. Exactly how the compound works is not yet fully understood, but its wide adoption in emergency rooms across the United States should occur quickly.
