March 18, 2010 - Sexuality After Brain Injury

Changes in sexual functioning and sexual satisfaction are common following traumatic brain injury (TBI). These changes can adversely impact rehabilitation and recovery and may result in decreased quality of life and behavioral health complications for persons with TBI, as well as having a negative impact upon relationships. Persons with TBI have indicated that sexuality is an important topic, but is often not adequately addressed during the rehabilitation process, particularly for those persons not already in a marital relationship with an involved spouse.
