Growth Hormone and Insulin Growth Factor 1 Deficiencies in Children/Adolescents Following Traumatic Brain Injury: The Impact on Growth and Neuropsychological Recovery
The purpose of this study is to look at the relationship between growth hormones, and
recovery from a TBI - traumatic brain injury. It is believed that a TBI may interfere with
the body's ability to produce growth hormones. These hormones may be needed by the body for
growth, mental development and sexual maturation.
