J Family Med Prim Care. 2023 Nov;12(11):2987-2989. doi: 10.4103/jfmpc.jfmpc_326_23. Epub 2023 Nov 21.ABSTRACTTraumatic brain injuries (TBIs) can have numerous neurologic and cognitive sequelae. The road to recovery can be long and arduous for many patients. Improving cognition can assist in a shorter recovery time as patients may be more in tune with their plan of care. Family physicians may be helpful in assisting with the recovery process post-hospital discharge. This case report seeks to educate family physicians on the use of methylphenidate in the ambulatory setting after TBI. Here, a case of a 51-year-old man on methylphenidate after a traumatic brain injury is presented.PMID:38186797 | PMC:PMC10771165 | DOI:10.4103/jfmpc.jfmpc_326_23
