If you are currently taking medication as part of your psychiatric treatment, and it is not producing the results you need, the Neuro-Therapy Clinic, Inc. can help.

In fact, if your medication isn’t working for you, you are experiencing one of the most common and frustrating issues for patients and doctors alike.  Finding the right medication for an individual patient is one of the biggest hurdles facing medical professionals.  There are more than 130 psychotropic drugs available to treat patients, and, since medications affect everyone differently, it is difficult to know which regimen is best. The most common approach has been a trial-and-error process.  
 
Through PEER Online™, the Neuro-Therapy Clinic can learn which medications have been effective, and which have not been effective for our peers in treating patients with similar brain patterns. We use the data to help us identify the medications most likely to achieve a positive outcome for individual patients, based on your unique neurophysiology.  PEER Online builds on the earlier physician-developed database used by the Neuro-Therapy Clinic, called Referenced-EEG^® (rEEG^®).   The Neuro-Therapy Clinic can determine if a PEER Outcome Report™ is recommended for you.

What is a Psychiatric EEG Evaluation Registry (PEER)?

• A simple computerized electroencephalogram (EEG) is collected. An EEG records a person’s brain electrical activity, much like an EKG does for the heart. This helps us to understand a patient’s unique brain patterns or neurophysiology.

• The EEG is compared to people with similar EEGs to see what medications worked and did not work for them.

• A report is generated which will help guide your prescriber to better understand treatment options specifically designed for you.

Do you meet these criteria?

• No recent hospitalizations.

• No history of psychosis.

• Currently not taking medications or able to safely decrease and stop taking medications including those for medical conditions, until the EEG has been collected. IMPORTANT NOTE: This will be done with the guidance of your medical team if it is decided that tapering off your medication is the correct decision.

• No alcohol, medical marijuana or recreational drugs for a specific time prior to collection of EEG.

Other Important Information:

• Some health insurances may cover a portion of the cost.

• The cost for the EEG and PEER Outcome Report is about $750 and payment plans are available.

• Thorough assessment is necessary for all those interested in utilizing the EEG and PEER.
