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.

Abstract: Novel formulations and methods for their use in treating neuropathology incident to trauma are provided. Multiple-component formulations of the invention, and especially those having four components, comprise biologically active compounds configured for preventing or reducing the incidence and severity of damage caused by neurotrauma. Formulations and methods of the invention effect both neuroprotective actions to prevent or reduce secondary injuries, and neurotrophic actions to repair and restore cells and tissues affected by the trauma. Formulations and methods of the invention are especially useful in treating neurological trauma, such as those caused by sports injuries and improvised explosive devices in combat.
