1. A method of assaying the efficacy of a treatment, the method of assaying comprising the steps of:

  • collecting physiological information regarding cerebrovascular health status of a number of individuals serving as patients in a clinical trial before application of a treatment;

    grouping the patients into at least two groups of patients such that patients with a similar cerebrovascular health status are grouped together;

    applying a treatment to the at least two groups of patients;

    monitoring outcomes of the treatment for each of the at least two groups of patients;

    collecting physiological information regarding cerebrovascular health status of the number of individuals serving as patients in the clinical trial after application of the treatment;

    correlating the physiological information regarding cerebrovascular health status of the number of individuals serving as patients in the clinical trial collected before application of the treatment;

    correlating said physiological information regarding cerebrovascular health status of the number of individuals serving as patients in the clinical trial collected after application of the treatment; and

    determining the efficacy of the treatment based on the outcomes of the treatment for each of the at least two groups of patients based at least on a comparison of the correlated said physiological information regarding cerebrovascular health status of the number of individuals serving as patients in a clinical trial collected before application of the treatment with the correlated said physiological information regarding cerebrovascular health status of the number of individuals serving as patients in a clinical trial collected after application of the treatment.
