What’s Important? 1. Why Pediatric TBI?

2.Monitoring the Injured Brain a) In the ICU b) On the playing field

3.Activating the Injured Brain a) After severe TBI b) After concussion

Rats with More Severe Injury Have More Frequent Seizures

More severe injury caused more frequent seizures

Subclinical szs (14 pts, 16%)

Early post-traumatic seizures (EPTS)

53 pts 34 pts

Subclinical szs only

(6 pts, 7%)

39% with EPTS Risk factors for seizure: • younger age • bleeding • abusive head trauma

EPTS occur pretty frequently after pediatric TBI and can be associated with worse outcomes.

Imaging Chronic Concussions?

Barrio J., et al., PNAS 2015

FDDNP-PET is a marker for amyloid and tau protein; in retired NFL players it may be a marker for chronic brain damage.

Post-concussive Impaired Activation

Griesbach, et. al. Neurosci 2004

In Normals, ↑ Running, ↑ BDNF

Following TBI, Early ↑ Running

↔ BDNF Also… Worse cognition

Following TBI, Delayed ↑ Running

↑ BDNF Better cognition

Exercise immediately post-injury worsens outcome; but delayed exercise helps.

Exercise as Treatment? SubSymptom Threshold Exercise Training

Leddy JJ, et al., Clin J Sport Med 2010

N=12 refractory PCS patients (6 athletes, 6 non-athletes)

All subjects exercised near HR max w/o symptom exacerbation. No adverse reactions or drop-outs

• Symptoms improved • Athletes improved more rapidly • Heart rate & blood pressure at

maximal exercise improved

Page 20: Found in Translation · Found in Translation: New Treatment Approaches for Pediatric Traumatic Brain Injury Christopher C. Giza, M.D. Children’s Discovery & Pediatric Neurology

The Future of Pediatric TBI? 1. Monitoring the injured brain in the ICU will allow more

rapid intervention for seizures & secondary brain injury.

2. Baseline testing the brain will allow better diagnosis & treatment of sports concussion.

3. Combinations of pharmacological and behavioral therapies can be synergistic in enhancing TBI outcome.

4. Properly timed exercise / activity may be therapeutic for achieving optimal concussion outcomes in athletes.
