Brain Injury Insider Episode 131: New Drug May Help Heal the Brain After Injury

July 18, 2025 • Michael Kaplen • Season 1 • Episode 131

In this special episode of The Brain Injury Insider, brain injury attorney Michael Kaplen highlights groundbreaking research from the University of Georgia that could change how we treat traumatic brain injury (TBI).

Researchers have developed an experimental drug—CMX-2043—that may help the brain heal itself after trauma by boosting the brain’s antioxidant defenses. Early findings using a swine model show promise in reducing brain damage post-injury.

This episode explores the importance of this research, the current lack of FDA-approved drugs for TBI treatment, and why continued funding for brain injury research is critical.
