APPARATUS FOR PREDICTING TREATMENT RESPONSIVENESS OF SEROTONERGIC PSYCHOTROPIC DRUG AND PREDICTING METHOD THEREOF

摘要

Disclosed are an apparatus for predicting treatment responsiveness of a serotonergic psychotropic drug and a predicting method thereof. The apparatus for predicting treatment responsiveness of the serotonergic psychotropic drug according to the present invention is characterized by comprising: a database unit for storing multiple groups as database by classifying them on the base of the relationship between Loudness Dependence of the Auditory Evoked Potential (LDAEP) and treatment responsiveness of the serotonergic psychotropic drug; a linear regression analysis unit for measuring event-evoked potential reponses for strength of predetermined numbers of auditory stimuli and analyzing, through linear regression, changing values of an amplitude among the event-evoked potentials measured; an LDAEP determination unit for determining LDAEP on the basis of the values measured by the linear regression analysis unit; and a responsiveness predicting unit for predicting treatment responsiveness of the serotonergic psychotropic drug by comparing the LDAEP determined by the LDAEP determination unit with database stored in the database unit.;COPYRIGHT KIPO 2014;[Reference numerals] (110) Database unit; (120) Regression analysis unit; (130) LDAEP determination unit; (140) Responsiveness analysis unit
