Abstract

Rehabilitation following traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a complex endeavor requiring a coordinated team approach to the spectrum of medical, motor, cognitive, and behavioral issues that can develop. Used in the appropriate circumstances for the appropriate motor disorders, therapeutic exercise, physical modalities, medications, chemical denervation with botulinum toxin or phenol, intrathecal baclofen, and surgical techniques can all be helpful. Certain rehabilitation approaches have been found to improve cognitive deficits. While some medications can worsen cognition, there are drugs that can improve some aspects of cognition as well as diminished initiation and alertness. Depending on the individual, aggressive behavior can often be ameliorated by planned behavioral approaches, counseling, and/or psychopharmacological approaches. Depression and anxiety can be treated with psychotherapy and medications.
