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.
本发明提供了用于治疗创伤引起的神经病理学和神经变性的新型多组分制剂、程序和方法。本发明的多组分制剂包括至少一种神经类固醇或神经活性类固醇(如黄体酮或合成孕激素)、至少一种抗癫痫药或抗惊厥药(如加巴喷丁、普瑞巴林或丙戊酸)、至少一种NK-1受体拮抗剂(如阿普瑞坦、卡索匹坦或马替匹坦)、至少一种含锂药物或与锂相关的药物的任意两种、任意三种或全部四种的生物活性形式。所提供的制剂经配置或调整后可预防或降低创伤引起的神经损伤的发生率和严重程度,或降低这种损伤的风险。本发明的制剂、程序和方法既能起到预防或减少二次损伤的神经保护作用,又能起到修复和恢复受创伤影响的细胞和组织的神经营养作用,特别适用于治疗神经细胞、神经支持细胞和神经支持组织的损伤或创伤。
