SERVICES & CLINICAL RESEARCH

 

 TEST SITE-ELAN PHARMACEUTICALS.  This is a multicenter study for bapineuzumab (an amyloid inhibitor), in patients with mild to moderate Alzheimers. This is a world-wide study with 250 test cites. Eligible candidates must have a caregiver and with be paid for participating in the study over an 18 month time frame. We are conducting the testing phases and neurology administering the trial medications. Travel to our location will also be reimbursed.

NORMATIVE STUDIES (IQ and Memory): We are a test site for Harcourt, The Psychological Corpopration.  We are currently engaged in a normative study for the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale and Wechsler Memory Scale, 4th editions.  If interested in being tested for the study payment of up to $200.00 for taking these tests is offerred to qualified subjects.  Contact us and you may be eligible to participate and be paid for your help.

HAS CHRONIC PAIN KEPT YOU OUT OF THE PICTURE LONG ENOUGH? We work with you and if you wish, your  primary physician to maximize treatment strategies which are  both evidenced-based and nonpharmacologic  for the treatment of chronic pain disorders such as cervicogenic headache, migraines or mixed muscle tension headaches.  The progressive muscle and behavioral techniques are also effective with chronic pain disorders generally, anxiety and depression.  Biofeedback, an audio CD, and cognitive/behavioral therapy techniques are all available in support of chronic pain treatment. See the article below related to research on gender differences in pain perception.

SPINAL CORD STIMULATOR (SCS) SCREENING: You may have tried many pain relief approaches. Over the past 35 years thousands of people have been treated with spinal cord stimulations. These devices are considered to be "pacemakers for pain."  They work by generating electrical impulses that are sent to your spinal cord.  These pulses block pain signals before the reach your brain. Insurance companies require psychological screening in advance of SCS placement.  Screening for eother SCS or spinal surgical intervention is offered if your orthopedic or neurological surgeon requests the evaluation. For more information on the SCS device visit PowerOverYourPain.com. You may also visit Spine-health.com for in depth information on your spinal condition.

EPILEPSY NEUROPSYCHOLOGICAL EVALUATIONS: The Montana Regional Epilepsy Program is seated at Benefis Healthcare, Great Falls.  We provide the neurobehavioral evaluation for patients who are candidates for epilepsy surgery, often during 24 hour EEG-Video monitoring which occurs on an inpatient basis. Following neuropsychological evaluation, we provide the Wada test (Intracarotid Sodium Amybarbital Procedure).  This procedure involves putting one hemisphere of the brain under anethesia  (e.g. left cerebral hemisphere) while Dr. English assesses the "awake" hemisphere for language lateralization and residual memory function if the neurosurgery is to be conducted. We have been providing these studies for the past 11 years at Benefis Healthcare. They are sometimes coordinated with Swedish Medical Center, Seattle, Washington, where all members of the team were initially trained.


ASSESSMENT OF NEURODEVELOPMENTAL DISORDERS:   Neuropsychological evaluation can lead to Academic Accomodation for Adolescents and Adults with Neurodevelopmental Disorders (e.g. Aspergers, Autism, ADD).   Public Law requires that valid cognitive and emotional disorders be assessed before academic accomodation is offerred.  It is important to clarify  (for teachers, counselors and administrative personnel in education) just how neurodevelopmental problems are related to academic accomodations, and to facilitate an understanding of the relationships between thorough assessment and effective educational planning and treatments.
