Embodiment 1

[0142] Example 1. Using Sinemet to help diagnose Parkinson's disease

[0143] As previously described, a physician may scan a patient's brain using a multimodal system with subsequent analysis of the type described above. Subjects were scanned prior to dosing to collect baseline assessments. Subjects were then administered a single diagnostic dose of Sinemet and asked to wait in the waiting room for 30, 60 or 90 minutes or until the T_max of the drug was known from the drug label and pharmacokinetic studies. The patient is then scanned a second time in the same manner. The patient can also scan the third, fourth and / or fifth times earlier or later than T_max, so as to obtain a time series observation of the action of Xinningmei. Parkinson's patients with pre-motor deficits or patients already diagnosed with Parkinson's disease can be predicted to show abnormal responses to Xinningmei because their dopamine levels are abnormal due to the neurodegenerative process associated w...

Embodiment 2

[0145] Example 2. Use of ice or other cooling objects to aid in pain identification and return-to-work (RtW) decisions

[0146] As mentioned earlier, physicians can scan a patient's brain using a multimodal system with subsequent analysis of the type described above. Whenever possible, subjects were scanned prior to injury to collect baseline assessments. Then, if a claim is made for soft tissue related pain, the method of the present invention can be used. As a non-limiting example, it is known that in the resting closed state of the eyes, the alpha rhythm is dominant, producing a peak typically around 10 Hz. This was recorded on a 45-year-old male subject via a single-lead EEG headband at 128 samples / sec and a 10-bit (10-bit) markerless ADC (MindSetPro from NeuroSky). As a surrogate for lower back pain or soft tissue injury and pain, the subject places an ice cube in the left hand and holds for 60 seconds while the headgear is recording. Although a major alpha peak in the...

Embodiment 3

[0147] Example 3. Use of Heat Roasts to Aid in Pain Identification and Return to Work Decisions

[0148]As mentioned earlier, physicians can scan a patient's brain using a multimodal system with subsequent analysis of the type described above. Whenever possible, subjects were scanned prior to injury to collect baseline assessments. Then, if a soft tissue related pain claim is made, the method of the present invention can be used. As a non-limiting example, it is known that in the resting closed state of the eyes, the alpha rhythm is dominant, producing a peak typically around 10 Hz. This was recorded on a 45-year-old male subject via a single-lead EEG headband at 128 samples / sec and a 10-bit markerless ADC (MindSetPro from NeuroSky). As a surrogate for lower back pain or soft tissue injury and pain, subjects place their hands on a thermal roaster, consisting of two separate pieces of metal with interlaced fingers exposed to various temperatures. Pain circuits are known to b...

Abstract

A single diagnostic dose of a chemical agent that can bind with molecular specificity or provide a well characterized molecular effect on a mammalian host (including humans) is provided to a patient between brain scans. The method typically comprises at least one pre- dose scan of the subject followed by a waiting period then a second post-dose diagnostic scan. The diagnostic scans can be conventional in nature or of a multi-modal variety. A comparison, in the form of a difference or ratio, between data or extracted features before versus after the diagnostic dose indicates with molecular specificity the tone in the brain of that subject. The resulting data may be used to assess instances of medical fraud and can be used in back to work decisions for brain and soft tissue injuries for which the determinations have traditionally been somewhat subjective in nature.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims the benefit of US Provisional Application No. 61 / 794,143, filed March 15, 2013, and US Provisional Application No. 61 / 864,864, filed August 12, 2013. The contents of these patent applications are incorporated by reference in their entirety into this application. technical field [0003] The present invention relates to the diagnosis and analysis of brain health information by using activation tasks and stimuli in a system combined with single doses of approved drugs, biological agents and biochemical CNS active agents to dynamically assess brain health, function and brain activity. Background technique [0004] The proper functioning of the brain and central nervous system is essential for a healthy, happy and productive life. Disorders of the brain and central nervous system are among the most dreadful diseases. Many neurological disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease,...
