New Study Opens Road to Better Treatment Options for the Clients of Cleveland Brain Injury Lawyers

Those who suffer a brain injury must relearn their very lives from top to bottom. In addition to suffering challenges with memory, concentration and thinking, they often struggle with depression and anxiety as well. Fortunately, a recent study published online in the journal Radiology may help lead to the improvement and treatment of those who suffer such afflictions. The MRI study found distinct injury patters in the brains of people with concussion related depression and anxiety.

Better treatment options are always good news for the clients of Linton Law Firm’s brain injury lawyers in Cleveland.

“The regions injured in concussion patients with depression were very similar to those of people with non-traumatic major depression disorder,” lead author Lea M. Alhilali, M.D., assistant professor of radiology at UPMC, told Science Daily. “This suggests there may be similar mechanisms to non-trauma and trauma-dependent depression that may help guide treatment.

“There are two major implications for this study,” Dr. Alhilali added. “First, it gives us insight into how abnormalities in the brain occur after trauma, and second, it shows that treatments for non-trauma patients with neuropsychological symptoms may be applicable to some concussion patients.”

More enhanced treatment will certainly ease the stress of brain injury patients, as will financial security to help with the lifelong care rehabilitation requires.
