A group of Aussie former athletes and doctors are on the verge of a medical breakthrough that could find a cure for concussion-related dementia by diagnosing CTE in living individuals. At present Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy – or CTE – can only be detected once a person has died and this vital step could eventually lead […]
The brain disease chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) has been linked to physical trauma to the head — and it turns out that those head impacts may trigger inflammation and DNA damage that accumulates in brain cells over time, a new study finds. That DNA damage, which can eventually lead to cell dysfunction and death, resembles […]
A world-first treatment, developed in Perth, is showing promising results in protecting the brain after concussion. The neuro-protective drug could limit the damage from a head knock, sparing patients from the life-changing effects of traumatic injury. ARG-007 is a drug looking for a license to save lives. “[It’s a] One shot wonder type of drug,” […]

We often hear about diagnosing CTE in former football players, but it can also occur in rodeo riders, soldiers, or
At the peak of Georgetown University’s fall football season, concerns about player safety continue to dominate discussions off the field. Central to these concerns is the growing body of research linking football-related head injuries to Chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), a degenerative brain disease caused by repetitive head impacts. CTE has been linked to participation in contact sports, with athletes who […]

Freshly published American research has established a new link between playing contact sport, CTE, and the development of a movement disorder known to be like Parkinsons.
CTE, or Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy, is a degenerative disease believed to be caused by repeated blows to the head that can be diagnosed only after death. It has been found in Australia in former AFL stars Polly Farmer, Danny Frawley and Shane Tuck, among others.
The first cases of CTE in victims of domestic violence in Australia and two of just a handful globally. Two
In the first part of their study, the researchers examined four postmortem brains from teenage athletes who had sustained head hits and impact injuries 1, 2, 10 and 128 days prior to death. Neuropathological analysis of these brains showed a spectrum of post-traumatic pathology, including one case of early-stage CTE and two cases with abnormal […]
Do you know the the importance of understanding brain injuries? Do you know the difference between a concussion and a traumatic brain injury, or CTE? The truth is, there isn’t one. Concussion is not a scientific term. What we commonly call a concussion actually IS a TBI. Doctors refer to any bump, blow, or jolt […]
If you or a loved one has suffered a concussion, you know how challenging recovery can be. Post concussion syndrome can cause symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, fatigue, and memory difficulties, which can have a significant impact on daily life. While there is no one-size-fits-all treatment for concussion recovery, hyperbaric oxygen therapy has emerged as […]
A first-of-its-kind Canadian research study is working towards a major medical breakthrough for a brain disorder, believed to be caused
Researchers are trying to determine if a number of Canadian veterans are suffering from Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy, also known as CTE — a disorder previously found in the brains of professional football and hockey players after their death. CTE is often accompanied by psychiatric symptoms, which could develop into suicidal thoughts, according to researchers. However, […]
Chatbot technology has emerged as a possible tool to support brain injury rehab, with a study suggesting its potential to boost at-home recovery between clinical therapy sessions. Research led by Dr. Judith Hocking of Flinders University suggests that it could have some usefulness in brain injury rehab. The study focused on the efficacy of RehabChat, […]
The fact that football players started wearing helmets around a century ago means people have been aware of the downsides that come with playing the sport for a very long time. https://brobible.com/sports/article/fda-approve-concussion-blood-test-football/?utm_content=buffer39dbf&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=buffer
