  • Methylphenidate in Adults with Severe Traumatic brain injury for the Enhancement of Recovery (MASTER)

    The research aims to learn more about the potential benefits of methylphenidate (Ritalin) as people recover from traumatic brain injury. Ritalin is a stimulant medication, most-widely known for its use in children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. It works by increasing the concentrations of certain neurotransmitters within the brain, especially those involved in attentional processes. Past studies have shown that methylphenidate has been effective in patients with a traumatic brain injury in improving attention. This study looks at whether it not only improves attention but also day to day function and sense of well-being after three months.
