Abstract : The literature was searched and reviewed to evaluate the usefulness of drug therapy for higher brain dysfunction caused by traumatic brain injury. Methylphenidate, a neurostimulant, has been well studied. The usefulness of methylphenidate administration for attention, including vigilance, concentration and processing speed, has been reported. Dextroamphetamine, another neurostimulant, and amantadine, a dopamine agonist, have also been reported on for their effects on attention. Furthermore, the choline esterase inhibitors donepezil, galantamine, and rivastigmine, have all been studied for their effect on attention. With regard to memory disorders, the usefulness of methylphenidate, donepezil and rivastigmine has been reported. Amantadine and bromocriptine, dopamine agonists, may enhance executive function. It has been pointed out that depressive state is improved by sertraline or fluoxetine, a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor. A relatively large number of drugs have been studied for use in the treatment for agitation and aggression. The following drugs may be effective for treating agitation and aggression : the beta-blockers propranolol and pindolol, typical antipsychotics haloperidol and methotrimeprazine, atypical antipsychotics clozapine, quetiapine and ziprasidone, and the antiepileptics valproate and carbamazepine. Finally, there have been reports on the usefulness of drug therapy for higher brain dysfunction caused by traumatic brain injury, but the levels of evidence are not sufficient. It is therefore necessary to perform a systematic study with a large sample size.
