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
4.Conclusions
TBI is the #1 cause of death and disability in kids and teenagers!!

Post-TBI seizures

47% of rats showed seizure activity after TBI.

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.

2.Monitoring the Injured Brain a) In the ICU b) On the playing field
3.Activating the Injured Brain a) After moderate-severe TBI b) After concussion

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
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.
