Abstract: The present invention discloses a method of treating agitation or the signs of agitation in a subject comprising the sublingual administration of an effective amount of an alpha-2 adrenergic agonist, more particularly Dexmedetomidine, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. The method is particularly suitable for the treatment of agitation associated with neurodegenerative and/or neuropsychiatric diseases. The present invention also discloses the sublingual administration of an alpha-2 adrenergic agonist, more particularly Dexmedetomidine or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof at a dose that is effective to treat agitation or the signs of agitation in a subject, but does not cause significant sedation.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods of administering relatively high doses of dexmedetomidine or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof to a human subject, without also inducing significant sedation. The disclosed methods are particularly suitable for the treatment of agitation, especially when associated with neurodegenerative and/or neuropsychiatric diseases such as schizophrenia, bipolar illness such as bipolar disorder or mania, dementia, depression, or delirium.

Abstract: There is provided a composition suitable for oral transmucosal administration (sublingual) comprising dexmedetomidine. The composition is useful for the treatment of sleep disorders such as insomnia and capable of providing sleep on demand. The composition comprises an effective amount of dexmedetomidine or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, solvates thereof, or derivatives thereof, formulated for delivery of dexmedetomidine across a subject's oral mucosa.

Abstract: Disclosed in the present disclosure is a method, system and apparatus for prediction, estimation and prevention of occurrence of agitation episode in a subject predisposed to agitation. The method comprises receiving, from a first monitoring device attached to a subject, physiological data of sympathetic nervous system activity in the subject and activity data of the subject; receiving, from a computing device, a plurality of indications associated with a plurality of agitation episodes of the subject; analyzing, using at least one machine learning model, the physiological data, the activity data, and the plurality of indications to determine a probability of an occurrence of an agitation episode of the subject; and sending a signal to a second monitoring device to notify the second monitoring device of the probability of the occurrence of the agitation episode of the subject such that treatment can be provided to the subject to decrease sympathetic nervous system activity in the subject.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a method includes receiving first physiological data of sympathetic nervous system activity and establishing a baseline value of at least one physiological parameter by training at least one machine learning model using the first physiological data. The method further includes receiving, from a first monitoring device attached to a subject, second physiological data of sympathetic nervous system activity in the subject. Using the at least one machine learning model and based on the baseline value of at least one physiological parameter, the method includes analyzing the second physiological data to predict an agitation episode of the subject and sending a signal to a second monitoring device to notify of the prediction of the agitation episode of the subject such that treatment can be provided to the subject to decrease sympathetic nervous system activity in the subject.
