I was doing some research last week for a talk I gave at theannual conferenceof the Brain Injury Association of Massachusetts (thanks to the survivors, family members, and clinicians who attended!). Thought I'd share with you something I found regarding efficacy of stimulant medications with brain injury survivors. While use of these agents is a fairly common practice with both adult and pediatric TBI patients, these "ADHD medications" have not been FDA approved for this use, and clinical implementation relies heavily on anecdotal data. |
