A recent study published in Nature found that multiple years of repetitive head impacts can cause changes in the brain at the cellular level that precede and may underlie clustering of hyperphosphorylated tau protein, a key marker of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE).

A new Clinical Practice Guideline (CPG) on traumatic brain injury care was recently published in the Journal of Neurotrauma.

A “proof-of-concept” study found that 8-10 weeks of at-home treatment with a transcranial photobiomodulation device resulted in improvements in cognitive function in adults exposed to repetitive head acceleration events.
