Filed:

Jul 11, 2002

Appl. No.:

10/193735

Inventors:

Stephen C. Suffin - Sherman Oaks CA, US
W. Hamlin Emory - Malibu CA, US
Leonard J. Brandt - Laguna Hills CA, US

Assignee:

CNS Response, Inc - Long Beach CA

International Classification:

A61B 5/02

US Classification:

600544, 600300

Abstract:

A method and system for utilizing neurophysiologic information obtained by techniques such as quantitative electroencephalography (QEEG), electrode recordings, MRI in appropriately matching patients with therapeutic entities is disclosed. The present invention enables utilization of neurophysiologic information, notwithstanding its weak correlation with extant diagnostic schemes for mental disorders, for safer and expeditious treatment for mental disorders, discovering new applications for therapeutic entities, improved testing of candidate therapeutic entities, inferring the presence or absence of a desirable response to a treatment, and deducing the mode of action of one or more therapeutic entities. In particular, methods for effectively comparing neurophysiologic information relative to a reference set are disclosed along with database-based tools for deducing therapeutic entity actions on particular patients such that these tools are readily accessible to remote users.

Filed:

Jun 23, 2003

Appl. No.:

10/602077

Inventors:

Stephen Suffin - Sherman Oaks CA, US

Assignee:

CNS Response, Inc. - Aliso Viejo CA

International Classification:

A61K 49/00

US Classification:

424 92, 424 111, 424 165, 424 91, 600544, 600545

Abstract:

Neurophysiologic information such as quantitative electroencephalography (QEEG) is used in a method for classifying, diagnosing, and treating physiologic brain imbalances. Neurophysiologic information is also used to guide sample selection in clinical tests for psychopharmacologic drug candidates. Finally, neurophysiologic information is used for remotely assessing and treating patients with physiologic brain imbalances.

Filed:

Feb 10, 2005

Appl. No.:

11/054762

Inventors:

Stephen C. Suffin - Sherman Oaks CA, US
W. Hamlin Emory - Malibu CA, US

Assignee:

CNS Response, Inc. - Aliso Viejo CA

International Classification:

A61B 5/04

US Classification:

600544, 600300, 600545

Abstract:

The present invention includes a system and method for computerized analysis of a patient's electroencephalogram (EEG) recorded by electrodes placed on the scalp, for the purpose of predicting patient response to medications and therapeutic agents commonly used in psychiatric practice. The prediction of the responses to medications (adverse, no effect, favorable outcome) is an important problem in the clinical practice of psychiatry. A growing number of therapeutic agents are available to the clinician but these agents generate variable responses when prescribed based solely on the patient's history and current symptoms. The present invention is used by physicians to improve patient outcome by selecting agents most likely to be effective for a given patient, using a standardized analysis of the digitized EEG and comparison of individual patient EEC data to a particular database of similar patients whose clinical outcome to pharmacotherapy is known.
