CNS Vital Signs - Kansas City Concussion Diagnostics
The CNS Vital Signs in-office neurocognitive testing procedure offers a non-invasive and comprehensive way to assess various aspects of brain function efficiently. By subjecting patients to a range of cognitive challenges and utilizing over 50 computerized clinical instruments, this procedure provides clinicians with valuable insights into a patient’s cognitive abilities and clinical symptoms. It can detect even subtle cognitive impairments, aiding in the evaluation and management of neurodegenerative, neuropsychiatric, neurotraumatic, and neurodevelopmental disorders.
One significant advantage of CNS Vital Signs testing is its ability to help clinicians evaluate the possibility of secondary gain, such as academic accommodations, disability seeking, or malingering. Additionally, it empowers patients, family members, and caregivers by providing them with knowledge about the cognitive domains underlying daily activities. Furthermore, the platform automates the collection of guideline-recommended clinical measures and establishes a neurocognitive baseline for each patient, facilitating informed treatment decisions and longitudinal tracking of clinical endpoints.
