Smith Center for Neurologic Research, University of Texas-Houston Medical School, 6431 Fannin, Suite 7.148, Houston, TX 77030 sug: subj: Brain Injuries Brain Injuries Therapy Outcomes Research Trauma Mortality Practice Guidelines Clinical Trials Intracranial Hypertension ab: Some of the major clinical advances in treatment of acute brain injury are discussed chronologically. These advances have resulted in a progressive decrease in mortality rate of patients with severe brain injury since 1975. Most of these improvements in care have been recently incorporated into a guidelines document for acute care, which has received broad organizational support. Animal models of brain injury, in which behavioral outcome could be used to test early therapy, became available in 1985. To date, completed multicenter clinical trials of early therapy to block the biochemical cascade after injury derived from these models have been negative. A number of ongoing trials are not yet completed, however. The potential reasons for negative results are discussed.
