New Drug Being Tested for Treatment of Head Injuries, Traumatic Brain Injury

Posted: Published on October 29th, 2012

Contributor (888) 633-0360 New Zealand researchers have developed a drug that they hope will help those whove suffered head injury, according to an article on nzherald.com. NNZ-2566, now being tested by New Zealands Neuren Pharmaceuticals, was designed to imitate the beneficial chemical reactions that go on in the brain when a concussion or injury occurs. In short, it replicates the bodys automatic efforts to heal itself at the moment it is damaged. The drug has only one final stage of trials to complete and will become available in 2016 at the earliest. This November, its slated to be tested on U.S. soldiers whove experienced brain trauma. Neuren has been working with the U.S. Army since 2004. Soldiers, football players, baseball players, and those who suffer traumatic brain injury in an accident all stand to benefit from the pill. Head injuries run the gamut from relatively trivial to fatal, but in every incidence of injury or trauma to the head, medical attention should be sought immediately to make sure there has not been a concussion.

The University of Exeter study says such injuries can lead maturing brains to "misfire", affecting judgement and the ability to control impulses. It calls for greater monitoring and treatment to prevent later problems. The findings echo a separate report by the Children's Commissioner for England on the impact of injuries on maturing brains and the social consequences. In the report, Repairing Shattered Lives, Professor Huw Williams from the University of Exeter's Centre for Clinical Neuropsychology Research, describes traumatic brain injury as a "silent epidemic". It is said to occur most frequently among children and young people who have fallen over or been playing sport, as well as those involved in fights or road accidents. The consequences can include loss of memory, with the report citing international research which indicates the level of brain injuries among offenders is much higher than in the general population. A survey of 200 adult male prisoners in Britain found 60% claimed to have suffered a head injury, it notes. "It is rare that brain injury is considered by … Continue reading →
