Sleep in individuals with traumatic brain injury and spinal cord injury

Sleep is especially impaired in individuals who have a Traumatic Brain Injury or Spinal Cord Injury. However, sleep disorders in both groups are under-recognized, underdiagnosed, and untreated for a substantial majority of patients. This webinar aims to drive an increase in awareness and improve sleep disorder management in these patient populations.
