Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a catastrophic event resulting from external mechanical forces, leading to a variety of neurological impairments. The complexity and heterogeneity of injuries are among the major speculated reasons for various unmet clinical needs in the effective management of TBI. Brain damage due to TBI results in both primary and secondary injury mechanisms.

Complexity associated with the aberrant physiology of traumatic brain injury (TBI) makes its therapeutic targeting vulnerable. The underlying mechanisms of pathophysiology of TBI are yet to be completely illustrated. Primary injury in TBI is associated with contusions and axonal shearing whereas excitotoxicity, mitochondrial dysfunction, free radicals generation, and neuroinflammation are considered under secondary injury.
