Chronic Traumatic Brain Injury

Among patients with traumatic brain and spinal cord injuries, cervical spinal cord injury was more severe and led to worse neurological and functional outcomes compared with those with only spinal cord injury, but survival was not affected.

Patients with chronic traumatic brain injury demonstrated “significantly different” fecal microbiome structures compared with controls, according to findings from a two-site trial published in Journal of Neurotrauma.
