Methods and systems for predicting future symptomatology in a patient suffering from a neurological or psychiatric disorder
First Claim
1. A method of predicting future symptomatology in a patient suffering from a neurological or psychiatric disorder, the method comprising:
- monitoring one or more physiological signals from a patient;
extracting one or more parameters from the one or more signals that are predictive of a patient'"'"'s future symptomatology;
monitoring a patient'"'"'s sleep state; and
analyzing the extracted one or more parameters and the patient'"'"'s sleep state to predict the patient'"'"'s future symptomatology.

Abstract
A neurological control system for modulating activity of any component or structure comprising the entirety or portion of the nervous system, or any structure interfaced thereto, generally referred to herein as a “nervous system component.” The neurological control system generates neural modulation signals delivered to a nervous system component through one or more intracranial (IC) stimulating electrodes in accordance with treatment parameters. Such treatment parameters may be derived from a neural response to previously delivered neural modulation signals sensed by one or more sensors, each configured to sense a particular characteristic indicative of a neurological or psychiatric condition.

9. A method of predicting future seizures in a patient suffering from epilepsy, the method comprising:
-
receiving one or more EEG signals from a patient; extracting one or more parameters from the one or more EEG signals that are predictive of seizures; monitoring a patient'"'"'s sleep state; analyzing the extracted one or more parameters and the patient'"'"'s sleep state; and delivering a neuromodulation signal to the patient when analysis of the extracted one or more parameters and the patient'"'"'s sleep state predicts that the patient is going to have a seizure. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12)

13. A system for predicting future symptomatology in a patient suffering from a neurological or psychiatric disorder, the system comprising:
-
one or more sensors that are configured to monitor at least one physiological signal from the patient; a control module coupled to the one or more sensors, the control module configured to analyze the at least one physiological signal and a signal that is indicative of an external event to calculate a disease state that is predictive of a patient'"'"'s future symptomatology; and a patient module interface configured to facilitate patient monitoring of the disease state that is predictive of a patient'"'"'s future symptomatology. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)

33. A method of adjusting a reference neurological disease state of a neurological treatment system based on at least one extrinsic factor of a patient, comprising:
-
providing a first reference neurological disease state of a patient; and adjusting the first reference neurological disease state based on at least one extrinsic factor of a patient to provide a second reference neurological disease state of the patient, wherein the first reference neurological disease state is different than the second reference neurological disease state. - View Dependent Claims (34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40)

41. A method of adjusting a reference neurological disease state of a neurological treatment system based on user input of at least one extrinsic factor of the patient, comprising:
-
providing a first reference neurological disease state of a patient stored in a reference module; and adjusting the first reference neurological disease state based on at least one extrinsic factor of a patient to provide a second reference neurological disease state of the patient, wherein the first reference neurological disease state is different than the second reference neurological disease state, and wherein the extrinsic factor is provided to the reference module by user input. - View Dependent Claims (42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50)
