At Wahid Medical, we are pleased to offer CNS Vital Signs (CNSVS) to our patients. CNSVS is a computerized neurocognitive battery comprised of seven tests:
- Verbal memory
- Visual memory
- Finger tapping
- Symbol digit coding
- Stroop test
- Shifting attention test
- Continuous performance test
These tests are used as a clinical evaluation tool, which help us to screen for conditions such as ADHD, memory loss, Alzheimer’s Disease, dementia, and traumatic brain injury. The test utilizes comprehensive, evidence-based data to assess the patient’s responses for signs of particular conditions or disorders. It is sensitive enough to detect even the slightest cognitive impairments with millisecond precision. Because CNSVS is so reliable in terms of replicability, it is also a useful tool for creating a baseline for patients and monitoring changes over time. Additionally, we can use this baseline as a way of checking the effectiveness of prescribed medication and cognitive behavior therapy over time.
