Pediatric brain injury refers to any injury to the brain that occurs in children, typically those under the age of 18. These injuries can be caused by a variety of factors, including accidents, falls, sports injuries, abuse, tumors, infection, or medical conditions. Pediatric brain injuries can have a significant impact on a child's cognitive, motor, and emotional functioning, and may require intensive medical treatment and rehabilitation. Research in the area of pediatric brain injury focuses on understanding the causes, effects, and long-term outcomes of these injuries in children. This includes studying the mechanisms of brain injury, developing new treatment strategies, and identifying ways to prevent brain injuries in children. Researchers in this field may also investigate the impact of brain injuries on a child's development and quality of life, as well as ways to support the physical, cognitive, and emotional recovery of children with brain injuries. Overall, research in pediatric brain injury aims to improve the diagnosis, treatment, and outcomes for children who have experienced a brain injury.
