PROGESTERONE MAY BE CONSIDERED FOR TREATMENT OF TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY (TBI)
The attorneys at the Law Offices of Jeffrey J. Kroll are experienced in handling cases involving individuals whom have suffered brain injuries. New research has shown that the administration of progesterone to individuals with brain injuries has shown beneficial effects and improvements in brain functionality. Progesterone is a naturally-occurring hormone that is produced by males and females. Progesterone can cross the blood-brain barrier and reduce swelling.
In the January issue of the American Journal of Roentgenology, the results of a study performed by researchers at Emory University in Atlanta, GA, indicate that progesterone can protect damaged cells in the central and peripheral nervous systems.
