High-Fat diet tested as potential brain injury therapy for kids

This small pilot study explored whether a high-fat, low-carb ketogenic diet is safe and practical to use in children recovering from moderate to severe traumatic brain injuries. Researchers wanted to see if children could tolerate the special diet for 14 days and gather early information on whether it might help with recovery compared to standard care alone. The goal was to collect enough data to plan a larger future study to test if the diet truly improves outcomes like hospital stay length and long-term brain function.
