- Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is common in veterans and is linked to various long-term sleep-wake disorders (SWD) that are not fully understood, which complicates diagnosis and treatment.
- A literature review identified gaps in knowledge regarding the pathophysiology of TBI-related sleep issues, compared them with post-traumatic stress disorder sleep disturbances, and highlighted the importance of biomarkers and treatment strategies.
- The conclusion stresses that a better understanding of the scientific basis for TBI and its impact on sleep is needed, focusing on biomarkers and neuroimaging to improve diagnosis and therapy in affected veterans.
