In the context of early brain injury following subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), topiramate significantly reduced the elevated levels of TNF-, IL-1, and IL-6 induced by SAH, suggesting that topiramate may exert neuroprotection via its anti-inflammatory effects ( In an experimental model of abdominal aortic aneurysm, topiramate markedly downregulated pro-inflammatory M1 macrophage activity, reduced the expression of TNF-, IL-1, and matrix metalloproteinase-9, and promoted a phenotypic shift of macrophages from M1 to M2, thereby mitigating pro-inflammatory activity and enhancing tissue repair processes ( These studies collectively suggest that topiramate exerts significant neuroprotective effects across various pathological models through its potent anti-inflammatory properties
That visibility has brought both increased interest and increased confusion, making it harder to separate established science from emerging or unsupported claims
