EEG & rEEG: Diagnostic Tool
By using rEEG to measure electrical activity of the brain, medications can be selected which affect neurophysiology
in known ways. When appropriately medicated, abnormal brain function can be normalized.
The case studies below demonstrate the dramatic difference rEEGs make in identifying appropriate medication.
Case Studies:
In over 500 individual cases, using rEEG was essential in stabilizing and base lining moods in 80% of patients.
35-year-old female with history of depression
A clinical study of a 35-year-old female with history of depression and numerous unsuccessful attempts on anti-depressants
was conducted. During treatment, rEEG tests were performed and the patient's results were run through the medication
response database. The report generated suggests that patient has a low probability to responding to anti-depressants.
32-year-old with bipolarA 32-year-old bipolar with suicidal tendencies and a history or cocaine use was on 6 different
medications (Paxil, Li++, risperdal, depakote, effexor, tegretol, provigil, klonopin, wellbutrin, lamictal). During treatment rEEG
tests were performed and the patient's medications were changed based on the rEEG results. The patient reported "feeling wonderful"
and was able to sleep well and not feel tired.
32-year-old female with a history of depression
A 32-year-old female with a history of depression was feeling okay
while on the medication Xanax but wanted to know if she could be doing better. Based on how the patient was feeling and the results
of the rEEG, it was decided – with significantly more confidence – to keep the patient on the current prescription due to side effects, or the potential of side effects of other recommendations.
Clinical Studies:
Five clinical sites (two general psychiatric practices, managed behavioral health pilot project, eating disorder rehabilitation
facility, addiction medicine practice)
In a clinical study of five clinical sites, 270 patients were treated using direction from Referenced-EEG. Of the 270 patients treated, 79% (212) were rated improved or very much improved. In three of the five clinical sites, the helpfulness scale indicated that rEEG was moderately helpful to essential in 77% of cases.
