Quick Treatment of Head Injury Lowers Alzheimer's Risk
A study of 37,000 patients shows neurorehabilitation within one week of brain injury lowers Alzheimer’s risk by 41% three years post-injury, researchers said.
- On Dec. 2, 2025, Case Western Reserve University researchers reported that receiving prompt treatment within one week of a serious head injury can reduce later Alzheimer’s risk by up to 41%.
- Because brain inflammation can damage cells, traumatic brain injuries cause long-lasting inflammation that raises Alzheimer’s risk, while neurorehabilitation combines therapies to help the brain form new connections.
- Researchers analyzed health records of people aged 50 to 90 with moderate to severe brain injury and prior studies reported that neurorehabilitation boosts brain power at hospital discharge.
- Senior researcher Rong Xu urged immediate treatment to protect minds for decades, and lead researcher Austin Kennemer said `Our analysis shows that acting quickly matters in the long term`.
- As many as 2.8 million Americans suffer a traumatic brain injury each year, and neurorehabilitation restoring cognitive function could influence clinical protocols and public-health messaging.
