Abstract:
Novel multi-component formulations, procedures and methods for use in treating neuropathology and neurodegeneration incident to trauma are provided. Multi-component formulations of the invention comprise biologically active forms of any two, any three, or all four of at least one neurosteroid or neuroactive steroid, such as progesterone or synthetic progestin, at least one anti-epileptic or anticonvulsant, such as gabapentin, pregabalin or valproic acid, at least one NK-1 receptor antagonist, such as aprepitant, casopitant or vestipitant, at least one lithium-containing or lithium-related drug. The provided formulations are configured or adapted to prevent or reduce the incidence and severity of neurological damage caused by trauma, or the risk of such damage. Formulations, procedures and methods of the invention advantageously effect both neuroprotective actions to prevent or reduce secondary injuries, and neurotrophic actions to repair and restore cells and tissues affected by the trauma, and are especially useful in treating injury or trauma to nerve cells, to neural support cells and to neural support tissues.
