Trying to explain TBI/ABI to a friend, family member, or co-worker can be challenging. We know because we've been in your shoes. Each year, over 1.7 million Americans experience a traumatic brain injury, and over 800,000 Americans suffer a stroke (a leading cause of non-traumatic acquired brain injury). This article was co-written by members of the BART Advisory Board and can be a helpful resource. Feel free to share it! And remember, you are not alone in the search for healing. Don't hesitate to reach out to us with questions. We try to help as best we can.

Understanding brain injuries: What is an acquired brain injury? An acquired brain injury (ABI) is an injury to the brain that occurs after birth.

Transcranial LED light therapy, sometimes called photobiomodulation, already has some FDA-approved applications, but these do not include TBI/ABI. But a growing body of research exists that shows their effectiveness. This 2024 article in Bioengineering and Translational Medicine (highly technical; we provide an easier-to-understand synopsis on our website) shows that PBM could be a promising non-pharmacological avenue to promote recovery after mild brain injury. Have questions? Reach out, and we'll try to help as best we can.

Omega-3 oil supplementation is one of the safe alternative therapies we at the BART Foundation believe may result in better outcomes for brain injury survivors. This article, presented in the November 2025 issue of Lipids in Health Disease, explores the association between omega-3s and suicidal ideation/self-harm behaviors. In short, the findings suggest that omega-3 fatty acids may play a protective role in mental health. Great news for those with TBI/ABI and all others struggling with mental health concerns. As always, reach out if you have any questions. We'll try to help as best we can!
