Dr. Guan Yanlei
High muscle tone following traumatic brain injury requires treatment through medications, massage, and similar methods. Recovery occurs gradually over time, as the repair of brain nerve fibers takes a certain amount of time. During the recovery period, medications such as baclofen can be used to help relieve muscle tension. Additionally, rehabilitation therapies including physical therapy, acupuncture, massage, and hyperbaric oxygen therapy may also help reduce muscle tightness and thereby promote the recovery of neurological function.
