PANS/PANDAS Treatment and Evaluation Checklist (PTEC ©)
PANS/PANDAS/Related Inflammatory Brain Disorders Treatment and Flare Evaluation Checklist (PTEC)
In August 2025 we launched our validated digital tool (see study) that allows patients and families to track symptoms of PANS, PANDAS, and related inflammatory brain conditions and share the results with their healthcare providers. This tool is intended to be shared with clinicians, creating a clear, objective picture of symptom progression that can inform treatment decisions and care planning.
What are Inflammatory Brain Disorders?
Individuals with inflammatory brain conditions often present with prominent neuropsychiatric symptoms that can be confusing for physicians and families alike. Our CME events feature nationally and internationally renowned experts skilled in diagnostic and therapeutic approaches who present a diverse range of emerging clinical and research challenges, insights, and advances in the field of inflammatory brain disorders. Presentations are carefully selected to familiarize attendees with rapidly developing research and to educate clinicians on the latest understanding of treatment options.

We provide clinicians the tools to confidently diagnose and treat immune-mediated neuropsychiatric illnesses and inflammatory brain conditions. Our Circle of Clinicians helps families to find a physician. Families are supported through therapist, physician, and researcher led webinars, local support meetings in locations around the world, a private Facebook group, and other resources.
