Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is nondegenerative damage to the brain caused by an external mechanical force, which can result in permanent or temporary impairment of cognitive, physical, and psychosocial functions, in addition to a compromised state of consciousness. TBI is frequently used interchangeably with head injuries, which may or may not be accompanied by neurological impairments. As a result, the concept of TBI varies depending on the circumstances.

In the United States, traumatic brain injury (TBI) is the greatest cause of mortality and disability among children and young people. TBI affects an estimated 1.5 million Americans each year. In the United States, an estimated 5.3 million men, women, and children are living with a lifelong TBI-related impairment, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). TBI is most commonly caused by falls, car accidents, and violence.
