The results from the TBI and Applied Cognition Task Force project will be reported and discussed in this presentation. This taskforce that initiated its journey in 2015 has already published a systematic umbrella evidence review and has a living systematic review database evaluating the ongoing pharmacological reviews for individuals with TBI. The taskforce built an original database with the goal to evaluate and report the evidence level, rigor, methods, and advances in this important area of research.

Learning Objectives:

Describe the methods used to identify relevant systematic reviews included
Describe and critique the published pharmacological literature (systematic reviews/meta-analysis) on treating ICP post-TBI
Identify limitations in the pharmacological ICP treatment studies that warrant further consideration
