Growth Hormone and Insulin Growth Factor 1 Deficiencies in Children/Adolescents Following Traumatic Brain Injury: The Impact on Growth and Neuropsychological Recovery

The purpose of this study is to look at the relationship between growth hormones, and recovery from a TBI - traumatic brain injury.
