Novel two-component formulations, procedures and methods for use in treating neuropathology and neurodegeneration incident to trauma are provided. Two-component formulations of the invention comprise biologically active forms of at least one neurosteroid or neuroactive steroid, such as progesterone or synthetic progestin, and at least one anti-epileptic or anticonvulsant, such as pregabalin. The provided formulations are configured or adapted to prevent or reduce the incidence and severity of neurological damage caused by trauma. 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 neurological trauma, such as those caused by sports injuries, chemical weapons, vehicle collisions and improvised explosive devices in combat. |
