Abstract
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is turning out to be a major cause of disability and death. Recent research has revealed the possible role of neuroinflammation, oxidative, nitrosative stress and apoptosis in the pathophysiology of TBI as well as its related complications such as cognitive dysfunction and depression. Presently, symptomatic treatment is being given depending upon the patients and their clinical conditions. Different drug treatments (neuroprotectants) are used to treat and manage the traumatized patients. Therefore, the present study highlights the potential opportunity of different antioxidants/neuroprotectants and their neuroprotective mechanisms in the treatment of traumatic brain injury in experimental animals. The present study would also highlight the potential therapeutic effects of these plant based drugs. These studies further provide a hope that these drugs could be used effectively for the treatment and management of TBI and related complications.
