"Electric Stimulation: A Promising Treatment for Traumatic Brain Injuries"

Scientists are studying the use of deep brain stimulation to treat cognitive impairment resulting from traumatic brain injury and other conditions. In a study involving five patients, electrical stimulation delivered to a specific area deep in the brain improved cognitive performance by over 30%. The results show promise, but further research is needed to draw definitive conclusions. Deep brain stimulation may offer a potential treatment option for brain injury patients who have exhausted other rehabilitation options.
