Nociceptive and Cognitive Changes in a Murine Model of Polytrauma

With a global incidence estimated to be about 106 per 100,000 population, TBI is a leading cause of trauma-related disability 15. In the US more than 1.7 million injuries occur per year resulting in 250,000 hospitalizations and 52,000 deaths 9. The majority (75-80%) of all TBI cases are, however, mild and are accompanied by the rapid resolution of the immediate symptoms including disorientation, dizziness, tinnitus, nausea and balance problems 24. The incidence of TBI is higher overall in males than females, and is particularly common in the very young, adolescents and elderly 3.
