摘要:
The present invention relates to a method for determining medication efficacy, comprising: a) providing; i) a patient having a physiologic brain imbalance, wherein said imbalance is identified using a first electroencephalography recording, and ii) a medication; and,
b) converting said first electroencephalography recording to at least one first multivariate outcome measurement wherein said first outcome measurement comprises a plurality of first univariate Z scores, wherein said first multivariate outcome measurement is derived from a frequency band selected from the group consisting of delta, theta, alpha, and beta; c) administering said medication to said patient; d) obtaining a second electroencephalography recording from said patient and converting said second electroencephalography recording to at least one second multivariable outcome measurement wherein said second outcome measurement comprises a plurality of second univariate Z scores, wherein said second multivariate outcome measurement is derived from a frequency band selected from the group consisting of delta, theta, alpha, and beta; and e) comparing said first multivariate outcome measurement with said second multivariate outcome measurement wherein a differential change between said first and second measurement determines said medication efficacy.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a method of screening a therapeutic agent for therapeutic effectiveness, comprising: a) providing: i) at least one patient, wherein said patient has a first disorder associated with a first set of electroencephalographic information; ii) a plurality of reference patients comprising at least one second disorder associated with a second set of electroencephalographic information; iii) a therapeutic agent, wherein said agent has no known therapeutic effectiveness for said at least one second disorder; and
b) treating said patient with said agent, wherein said agent is therapeutically effective for said first disorder; c) identifying, using a computer a similarity between said first set of electroencephalographic information and said second set of electroencephalographic information; and d. indicating said agent as having therapeutic effectiveness for said at least one second disorder based upon said similarity in said reference patients.
