Strangulation in intimate partner violence causes lasting brain damage, leading to vision issues, dizziness, and cognitive problems years later, a study finds.
A federally funded study by Mass General Brigham researchers links intimate partner violence strangulation to long-term health issues, including vision problems, dizziness, poor concentration, and traumatic stress, even years later.
Among 139 mostly white women, those who lost consciousness or experienced altered awareness during strangulation reported more severe symptoms.
The average time since the last incident was 8.7 years, with 64% reporting strangulation and 45% experiencing altered or lost consciousness.
Findings highlight lasting brain injury effects and the need for better medical, mental health, and preventive support for survivors.
