I want to study the effects of a pharmacological treatment (antidepressants) related to quality of life in oncologic patients. Apart from a depression diagnosis that would be a prerequisite for administering the treatment, i need another screening tool that could confirm the patient's ability to be functioning enough to give me true and valid answers later in the main tests. For this reason I am looking for a validated tool in clinical setting that could detect any cognitive impairment due to a psychiatric condition or substance induced (es. high doses of morphine).
If there concern on severe impairment, the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) is preferred, still CLOX would be suitable in time-limited conditions. The 4AT could be nice for morphine-induced changes.
Hello, I'm developing a tool that can help with that, it works with id and color pigmentation areas, one of the tool's modules can help with that. I'll be happy to help.
