Brain Injuries
Brain injuries cause a variety of complex physical and psychological issues, while changing lives exponentially. Symptoms of a car accident brain injury include aggression, anxiety, arousal, cognition issues, eating problems, headaches, mood movements, obsession-compulsions, seizures, sexual function issues, sleep problems, and speech-language delays.
There are several medications that can be used to help with brain injuries, relieving many of the hardships that result from head trauma. Nimodipine has neuroprotective properties that help with seizures after traumatic car accidents causing brain injury. It's important to control involuntary movements that arise from a brain injury, and this can be helped by Nimodiphine and like medications.
Medications that Relieve the Symptoms of a Brain Injury
Anti-anxiety and depression medications can help with cognitive issues from brain injury. They also relieve mood and sleep issues, which can help with the healing process. Amphetamines assist with hyperactivity and memory loss, as they calm racing thoughts and repair an inability to concentrate or focus on memories, as well as aiding connective brain processes.
Neostigmine, Physostigmine, Bromocriptine, and Amantadine help with difficulty moving after a traumatic brain injury (TBI). The inability to move certain body parts is common after a car accident brain injury, and certain medications can help facilitate movement in the body. Beta-adrenergic blockers help with tremors after a brain injury, and they are typically used as a medication to help blood circulation and decrease blood pressure. They also help with tremors by increasing blood flow to areas that are having difficulty. Examples of medications that are beta-adrenergic blockers are Propranolol, Atenolol, and Pindolol.
