Physostigmine treatment improved long-term confusion and cognitive function in a head-injured patient. This case study highlights the drug's potential for managing persistent post-traumatic brain injury symptoms.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Pharmacology
  • Clinical Neurology

Background:

  • Persistent confusion and cognitive deficits are common sequelae of traumatic brain injury (TBI).
  • Current treatment strategies for chronic TBI-related cognitive impairment have limited efficacy.

Observation:

  • A male patient experienced over two years of persistent confusion following a head injury.
  • Intermittent administration of physostigmine was initiated to address the cognitive deficits.

Findings:

  • Physostigmine treatment led to progressive improvements in the patient's confusion.
  • Usable cognitive functions also showed significant enhancement during the treatment period.

Implications:

  • Physostigmine may represent a viable therapeutic option for managing chronic confusion after TBI.

  • Further research into the aetiological mechanisms and optimal treatment protocols for physostigmine in TBI is warranted.
