‘Progesterone’ well known as female sex hormone may be helpful in saving thousands of lives that suffer from Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), US scientists have put this fact under light.
Throwing more light on their revelation, Dr. David Wright, assistant professor in the department of emergency medicine at Emory University Health Sciences Center in Atlanta said:
We found encouraging evidence that progesterone is safe in the setting of TBI, with no evidence of side effects or serious harmful events.
This research has also brought out a fact after studying several patients suffering from TBI that there was a reduction of 50 percent death cases in progesterone treated group.
This is really an breakthrough achievement in the combat against traumatic brain injuries that will surely help thousands of patients with TBI.
