9. Traumatic Brain Injury: Long-Term Effects on the Nervous System
A traumatic brain injury (TBI) occurs when an external force, such as a blow or jolt to the head, causes damage to the brain. Depending on the severity of the injury and the area of the brain affected, TBI can result in various symptoms, including tremors.
Tremors caused by TBI can affect different parts of the body and may persist long after the initial injury has occurred. These tremors can be challenging to manage and may require ongoing treatment and support.
Other symptoms of TBI can include cognitive difficulties, mood changes, headaches, and balance problems. Treatment for TBI typically involves a combination of medications, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and cognitive rehabilitation.
If you or a loved one are experiencing tremors or other symptoms after a head injury, consult a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment plan. (9)
