Doing some research on potential off-label uses of DEX:

1) Spinal cord injury. A very good bet that if DEX works in TBI it will work in Spinal Cord Injury. However, from a revenue point of view it isn't a huge market - somewhere near 10,000 patients per year in the US.

2) Penetrating TBI. So far I have had a hard time figuring out the incidence of penetrating vs non-penetrating. People publishing numbers are somewhat vague about the numbers in each category. The best numbers I can find are only for overall TBI incidence of 1.5M cases of TBI per year as per CDC and there seems to be an assumption that the significant majority of those are non-penetrating. And the penetrating injuries are much more quickly fatal. But I am still looking for some hard numbers.
