People with a traumatic brain injury (TBI) often face problems with social functioning, and Australian researchers say there could be merit to developing medications that can help. Emotional problems, aggression and communication difficulties are some of the common social functioning problems that can come with a TBI, and the researchers interviewed 15 people with moderate to severe TBIs about these social problems and whether the participants would be interested in taking medication that could help. The researchers say the participants reported a range of social problems they were facing and all of them expressed willingness to use medication for those problems. The researchers say there are options for medications that could help but little research has been done so far, and they hope the patient perspectives they collected can help inform this research in the future.
