Patient's question:
I had a drunk driving incident before, and then I had a car accident, which resulted in a traumatic brain injury. I went to the hospital for treatment and have been gradually recovering for two months. However, recently, my head still doesn't feel well. I went to see a doctor, and they said I have brain atrophy. I'm very worried. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
After traumatic brain injury expands into brain atrophy, it is necessary to conduct timely examination and treatment. For this condition, it is essential to stabilize it through neurotrophic drugs and drugs that regulate brain decomposition metabolism. Although there is currently no effective treatment for brain atrophy, drug therapy can slow down the progression of the disease. It cannot achieve a complete cure, but it can improve the current clinical symptoms.
