Understanding Traumatic Brain Injury
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) occurs when an external force injures the brain, ranging from mild concussions to severe brain damage. TBIs can result from falls, vehicle collisions, sports injuries, or other impacts to the head. The severity and location of the injury determine the symptoms and long-term effects. In our partner clinics in Beijing and Shanghai, we use a multidisciplinary approach involving neurologists, neurosurgeons, rehabilitation specialists, and neuropsychologists to provide comprehensive care.
Advanced Diagnostics in China
Accurate diagnosis is the first step toward effective treatment. Our hospitals offer:
- CT Scanning: Rapid assessment of brain bleeding.
- MRI Scanning: Detailed brain imaging.
- Neuropsychological Testing: Assessing cognitive function.
- Glasgow Coma Scale: Measuring consciousness level.
Treatment Options
Depending on the diagnosis, treatment may involve surgery, rehabilitation, medications, or an integrative approach combining Western medicine with Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) to support brain healing and recovery.
- Surgical Intervention: For severe cases with bleeding.
- Rehabilitation Therapy: Physical, occupational, and speech therapy.
- Medications: Managing symptoms and preventing complications.
