In reply to What is this study about? rEEG?, posted by river1924 on October 17, 2007, at 21:59:54
> This study is to evaluate the effectiveness of using rEEG technology to determine the most effective medication-based treatment for subjects with treatment-resistant depression in comparison to using generally accepted methods for selecting treatment. This is a 10-week study. Subjects will have a QEEG recorded and forwarded to the sponsor, who will analyze it utilizing their rEEG technology. Qualified subjects will be assigned by chance to either the experimental (rEEG guided) group, or the control group utilizing a more conventional approach to selecting a treatment. All medications to be selected will be FDA-approved.
Which study? I was looking for a link. Is it this one? http://clinicaltrials.gov/ct/show/NCT00437827
Referenced EEG (rEEG) is what CNS Response calls their analysis of EEG recordings. Based on EEG patterns identified in their reference library, the proponents believe that antidepressant treatment can be made more specific. If this is the study you're referring to, the number of subjects is very small. They're hoping to show that rEEG leads to better treatment selections, from amongst commercially available antidepressants.
