Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to determine if experimental drug treatment improves recovery after TBI as compared to a control (placebo) group. Changes in recovery will be measured throughout the study. The study drugs listed below are approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) but are being used "off-label" in this study. This means that the drugs are not currently approved to treat TBI.
