Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is well known to damage the brain tissue that controls thinking and movement as well as the part of the brain that controls hormone production. Some of the steroid hormones are known to vastly reduce damage to brain tissue after a TBI.

The incidence of hormonal problems after TBI is staggering. Recent attention is shedding more light on this common issue due to the large number of veterans returning from wars in Iraq and Afghanistan with head injuries from improvised explosive devices.
