Could a High-Fat diet help kids heal from brain trauma?

This small pilot study looked at whether a ketogenic diet (a high-fat, low-carb diet) is safe and possible for children who have had a moderate to severe traumatic brain injury. Seven children took part, and the main goal was to see if they could stay on the diet for 14 days without serious side effects. The study also gathered early information on recovery, like how long they were unconscious and how long they stayed in the hospital, to help plan a larger future study.
