Objective. To explore the Quantitative EEG (QEEG) effects of established clozapine therapy regimes compared to those of previous ineffective antipsychotic regimes among 64 chronic (DSM-IV) schizophrenic patients. Methods. Data from 20 EEG channels referenced to linked ears were collected before and during maintenance clozapine therapy (mean duration 1.4 years). Absolute power was calculated in ...

Posterior circulation cerebral infarction (PCCI) can lead to deceased infratentorial blood flow (CBF) and metabolism. Neural activity is closely related regional both spatially temporally. Transcranial Doppler (TCD) combined with quantitative electroencephalography (QEEG) a technique that evaluates neurovascular coupling involves synergy between the metabolic vascular systems. This study aimed ...

Determination of brain dying means reversible or irreversible injury to the brain, including brainstem. Current guidelines rely on clinical examination proof coma, absent stem reflexes, and apnoea test. Neurophysiological testing using electroencephalography evoked potentials — somatosensory brainstem auditory potential could have been helpful in final diagnostic death conclusion, but accuracy t...

This paper extends previously developed 3D SPM for Electrophysiological Source Imaging (Bosch et al., 2001) for neonate EEG. It builds on a prior paper by our group that established age dependent means and standard deviations for the scalp EEG Broad Band Spectral Parameters of children in the first year of life. We now present developmental equations for the narrow band log spectral power of EE...

Abstract Study Objectives Obstructive sleep apnea is highly prevalent, but heterogeneous making identifying patients at risk of driving impairment challenging. Resting wake electroencephalography (qEEG) associated with vigilance performance in healthy subjects. We examined if qEEG and clinical measures predict OSA. Methods Fifty-four underwent baseline PSG 28hr extended wakefulness (EW) 2 hourl...

114 Recent research into fibromyalgia has suggested dysfunction in the central nervous system (CNS) as a possible contributor to this chronic pain condition. If changes in the CNS are involved in fibromyalgia, then dysfunctional brain activity should be present. This article specifically focuses on the brain wave activity in a group of fibromyalgia sufferers. In this study, 40 fibromyalgia suff...

Objective: The present study was carried out to examine the efficacy of psychoneurotherapy (PNT) on reducing symptoms severity in treatment-naïve patients with obsessive-compulsive washing. This study evaluated a new form of psychotherapy based on neurobiological model of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).  Methods: The study was conducted as a quasi-experimental research. The stat...

Introduction Interpreting quantitative EEG results and correlating symptoms can be difficult when there is more than a single contributor or aberrant finding. The clinician may be forced to make decisions with their best estimate of where to begin with neurofeedback interventions. In these cases there are many sites which appear to be equally contributing to the cause leaving the clinician with...

OBJECTIVES Serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI) antidepressant medications may have efficacy in relieving pain associated with fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS), even in the absence of major depressive disorder (MDD). Current practice is to use a trial-and-error treatment strategy, often requiring 8-12 weeks to determine the effectiveness of a given pharmacological intervention. The abi...
