UW Magnesium Sulfate for Neuroprotection after Traumatic Brain Injury
Wednesday, February 15th, 2012

Researchers at the University of Washington continue to study treatment for Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI).  The published results of a major study.  The study enrolled patients treated at Harborview Medical Center.  The had moderate to severe TBI.

Researchers found that magnesium treatment was not effective.  It neither decreased deaths nor improved functioning.  Most subjects were unconscious.  Family members consented for half to enroll.  About half had no family there in time to ask.  A waiver of consent made possible their participation.  The researchers are grateful to the patients, their families and the community for their help in conducting the research.  Researchers around the world continue to search for effective treatments.  But TBI still leaves many with major disabilities.

The results from the study are in Lancet Neurology, a widely read medical journal.  They are summarized at: http://depts.washington.edu/uwtbi/Projects/magnesium.htm

Toronto School Utilizes Innovative “Return to Learn” Program Following Student Concussions
Friday, February 10th, 2012

St. Michael’s College School, a private school in Toronto, has taken into account research that demonstrates rushing back to the classroom after a concussion can be as harmful as rushing back to athletics.  In coordination with medical professionals, the school has developed the “Return to Learn” program, a six-level graduated protocol to help students academically after a brain injury.  The protocol begins with full bed rest at home and incrementally reintroduces class time, screen time and homework.  This approach involves teachers, coaches, parents and doctors in a gradual and deliberate reintegration process.
