Cognitive Rest Protocol Metabolic demand reduction Meta-analysis of RCTs First 24–72 hours critical Does not address underlying neuroinflammation or vascular injury Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Tissue oxygenation, VEGF upregulation Mixed results in clinical trial
This comparison does not assign a generated winner or score.
- Cognitive Rest Protocol
- Metabolic demand reduction
- Meta-analysis of RCTs
- First 24–72 hours critical
- Does not address underlying neuroinflammation or vascular injury
- Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
- Tissue oxygenation, VEGF upregulation
- Mixed results in clinical trials
- Typically initiated 7–14 days post-injury
- Requires specialised facility access, inconvenient for acute phase
- BPC-157 (Preclinical)
- BBB stabilisation, BDNF/VEGF modulation, microglial phenotype shift
- Rodent TBI models only
- Optimal within 1–24 hours post-impact
- No human trials, dosing protocols extrapolated from animal studies
- Exogenous Ketones
- Alternative fuel for injured neurons
- Preliminary human data
- Can be initiated immediately
- Mechanisms indirect, no direct anti-inflammatory effect
- Progesterone
- Neurosteroid with anti-apoptotic effects
- Phase III trial failed primary endpoint
- Within 8 hours post-TBI in studies
- Human efficacy not replicated despite strong preclinical data
