title: [Experimental and clinical findings indicating anxiolytic properties of gestagens (author's transl)].
abstract: Employing the technique of quantitative pharmaco-EEG investigations on the psychotropic effects of progestogens indicated that progestogens produce a profile similar to that of minor tranquilizers. A short review of the clinical literautre adds support to the suggestion that progestogens may have sedative/tranqulizing properties.
