New research reveals potential new treatments for intracranial hypertension (IIH) or traumatic brain injury (TBI). GLP-1 receptor agonists & CGRP blockers—already used for diabetes & migraine—could be repurposed for IIH & TBI. bit.ly/3FZq24i #TBI #IIH #Neuroscience

An exciting milestone alert! 🎉 Our mTBI-Predict study has officially recruited its first 100 patients - a major step in understanding the complications of concussion. A huge thanks to all involved! Read more online: bit.ly/3EhF3xE #Concussion #mTBIPredict #Research

We are recruiting patients who’ve had concussion! 🧠 ⚡️ Please help us to help patients with concussion by sharing this information video about our study. Thank you! 🙏 @unibirm_CMH @BirminghamBRC #concussion #mTBI #research #nhs vimeo.com/943699714/848a…

Excellent recruitment rates in the first few months of the mTBI-Predict trial ! #mtbi #concussion #prognostic #biomarker

Had a fantastic day hosting our #mTBI-Predict consortium Christmas meeting!! Great presentations and it was lovely to get the teams together to celebrate all the hard work and success over the past year! Thank you to everyone for coming today. #mTBI #concussion #prognosis

Your work on #IIH is vital @BrainLabBhamUk. Thanks for the great lectures! #EHC2024

The opening plenary session continues with Dr Philip Holland presenting the best basic science bits of 2024 #EHC2024

The IIH Intervention trials seeks to answers which procedure is best Shunt vs Stent - this is in the top most important questions asked by patients. @IIHUK

George Tsermoulas @UHBNeurosurgery - we don’t know which is the best procedure, shunt vs stent for #IIH. Need to educate doctors about the research data which shows pros and cons of both. @IIHUK

Experts INR’s around the Uk from Edinburgh Liverpool UCL Cambridge Birm Newcastle Glasgow hold discussions, led by Prof Sinclair, on venous stenting in #IIH in the #IIHIntervention trial @IIHUK

Headaches common after venous stenting - short lived. #IIHIntervention @IIHUK @UHBNeurosurgery

“Patient outcomes are better in research active hospitals” - Phil White @IIHUK @UHBNeurosurgery

Inequality of provision of SUNTING & VENOUS STENTING in UK. #IIHIntervention trial will help ensure best procedure becomes available in UK @IIHUK
