Authors' results and conclusions:
The quality of the evidence for quantitative electroencephalography (QEEG) response prediction found in this summary is of average quality, overall, and all the evidence suggests that early QEEG cordance can successfully predict the eventual "true" outcome of antidepressant therapy. A larger clinical trial, currently underway, will publish its results in the near future.
Authors' recommendations:
Based on the potential usefulness of this technology for a large patient group, and the likelihood of further, higher quality evidence being made available in the near future, HealthPACT have recommended that this technology be monitored for 12 months.
