Major advances in traumatic brain injury research in 2025 - The Lancet Neurology
2025 marked a turning point in traumatic brain injury (TBI) research, with studies now showing that TBI is a chronic condition characterised by prolonged biomarker elevations and long-term comorbidities, fundamentally shifting clinical management from acute intervention to lifelong monitoring and care. A new TBI classification framework was developed that captures the heterogeneity of TBI, which will allow for personalised treatment and targeted clinical trials. In parallel, emerging therapeutic approaches offer renewed hope for better outcomes.

Assessment of Cervical Joint Position Sense and Head Posture in Individuals With Myogenic Temporomandibular Dysfunctions and Identifying Related Factors: A Case-Control Study - PubMed
These results indicate that in addition to higher pain severity, disability and lower jaw ROM, CJPS of individuals with TMDs is also negatively affected. Also, parameters related to disability and functionality of cervical and TMJ were significantly correlated. Further studies are needed to determin …
