Non-randomized, Open-labeled, Interventional, Single Group, Proof of Concept Study With Multimodality Approach in Cases of Brain Death Due to Traumatic Brain Injury Having Diffuse Axonal Injury

This is the proof of concept study with multi-modality approach (using intra-thecal bioactive peptides, stem cells, laser and transcranial IV laser and Median Nerve stimulation as adjuvants) in cases of brain death due to traumatic brain injury having diffuse axonal injury to document possibility of reversal of brain death (BD).
