Study of the Efficacy of Using rEEG-Guided Treatment Compared to Generally Accepted Treatment in Subjects with Treatment Resistant Depression
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.
