Progesterone
and Epilepsy Many
women with
epilepsy
experience an
exacerbation
of their
disorder that
can be related
to their
menstrual
cycle. This is
referred to as
catamenial
epilepsy and
its most
common pattern
is an
increased
tendency for
seizures just
before or at
the onset of
menstruation.
The exact
pathophysiology
of the
seizures is
unclear, but
the timing of
these episodes
corresponds to
the
significant
drop in
circulating
progesterone,
which
increases the
estradiol:
progesterone
ratio.
Estradiol and
progesterone
have unique
properties
that act on
the nerve
cells of the
brain:
estradiol
increases the
metabolism and
firing rates
of neurons,
while
progesterone
has the
opposite
effect. These facts led researchers at North Carolina State University to study the effects of neurosteriod replacement therapy on patients with catamenial epilepsy. In a 3-month investigation, natural progesterone was administered on days 15-28 of the menstrual cycle. A 54% to 68% reduction in seizure frequency was reported at the end of the study period. A three year follow up on the 15 patients who continued the use of progesterone reflected a 62% to 74% decrease in the frequency of their seizures. Many further studies and research projects have been performed, with the same results. The relationship between hormones and seizures can be a vicious circle: not only can hormone levels affect seizures, seizures can affect hormones. Women with temporal lobe seizures have a higher rate of menstrual dysfunction and reproductive disorders than those without epilepsy. The altered function of the temporal lobe, which ultimately controls the process of hormone secretion, provokes hormonal changes that are associated with decreased progesterone. This leads to the imbalance of estrogen to progesterone. Treatment with progesterone normalizes the ratio, and seizures are less frequent. This means temporal lobe controls become more normal, resolving menstrual disorders. It is important to note that the successful use of progesterone in this treatment is with natural, not synthetic hormone. Synthetic hormones, or progestins, do not have the same effect on reducing epileptic seizures. It is theorized that this is because the metabolite of the natural form, allopregnanalone, is the potent component and that it does not exist in progestins. Neurosteroids are currently being investigated as promising treatments for mood and anxiety disorders. This shift of awareness should lead to more interest in the influence our hormones have on our health and well being, and to a more wide spread acceptance of using hormones therapeutically.
