Abstract:
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is currently a rising player in the cause of disability and neurological dysfunction worldwide. TBI is a common occurrence in the military and extreme activities, sports arena and accidents. Severe TBI can be fatal but mild TBI persists and progressively deteriorates brain homeostasis and physiology. Apart from the physical disabilities, psychological complexities arise in people with mild TBI. Despite the seriousness of this hazard, treatments for TBI are not adequate, mostly due to the brain being involved. Nanoparticle (NP) therapy seems to be an effective alternative to combat TBI. This review outlines the state of TBI and describes the probable medical support that nanomedicine can provide.
