How to treat dizziness caused by brain trauma

Various traffic accidents occur every day all over the country. In severe cases, the human brain can be traumatized. Some people may only suffer minor skin injuries, but some people will have concussions or brain nerve damage. After treatment, there will still be certain sequelae, such as dizziness, headache, memory loss, etc. This article will briefly introduce how to treat dizziness caused by brain trauma.

Bumps and bruises are inevitable in life, but if the brain is affected by these bumps and bruises, it is very likely that it is more than just a simple trauma. Patients who have suffered serious injuries are often prone to dizziness. So what should we do if dizziness is caused by brain trauma? Let's find out below.

Post-traumatic syndrome refers to a disease in which, after a period of recovery from brain trauma, the patient still has symptoms such as dizziness, headache, insomnia, and forgetfulness, but has no signs of organic damage to the nervous system. The main symptom of this disease is vertigo, which is mostly caused by brain trauma and concussion caused by gravity. Vertigo caused by post-traumatic brain syndrome not only damages the inner ear and vestibular nerve, vestibular nucleus and central connection, but also damages the labyrinth (which may be caused by bleeding or simple concussion). Due to the influence of external forces, brain cells are damaged and brain microcirculation is disturbed. In addition, the influence of mental factors and autonomic nervous system dysfunction eventually lead to brain cell dysfunction, balance disorder and dizziness.

The vertigo caused by post-traumatic brain syndrome can linger for a long time, with dizziness persisting for several months after the injury or recurring after a period of relief. Vertigo can vary in severity and may be accompanied by headache, tinnitus, insomnia, forgetfulness, etc. Neurological examinations generally show no obvious abnormalities. Vertigo may be rotational or other in nature and is often related to changes in body position. Asking about the specific circumstances of the head injury and the nature of the vertigo can aid in the diagnosis.
