Abstract:

Objective: Acute course of electroconvulsive therapy is effective in inducing remission from depression, but recurrence rate is unacceptably high following termination of electroconvulsive therapy despite continued pharmacotherapy. Continuation electroconvulsive therapy and maintenance electroconvulsive therapy have been studied for their efficacy in preventing relapse and recurrence of depression. The purpose of this meta-analysis was to examine the efficacy of continuation electroconvulsive therapy and maintenance electroconvulsive therapy in preventing relapse and recurrence of depression i

Abstract:

Electroconvulsive therapy is known to be effective in the treatment of mood disorders, more specifically for depression and mania. Although a large body of evidence confirms the efficacy of electroconvulsive therapy in the treatment of mania, few prospective studies have been done to assess its effectiveness in treatment-resistant manic episodes. These case reports describe the initial results of a study that is being conducted to evaluate the efficacy of Electroconvulsive therapy among treatment-resistant bipolar patients.

Abstract:

Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is an effective, if somewhat controversial, treatment for a number of psychiatric disorders, particularly depression. Although use has declined, this is not due to lack of evidence to support the use of ECT, but because other treatments for psychiatric disorders, not always grounded in evidence, are being chosen. GPs are likely to have patients who have received ECT, or for whom ECT may well be considered following a referral to secondary care. This article considers the origins of ECT, the indications for use and side effects.

Introduction and purpose: Depression remains the leading cause of disability worldwide, affecting the lives of nearly 300 million people. A particularly severe form of depression is treatment-resistant depression (TRD), which is associated with significant health, social, and economic problems. Its prevalence varies due to the lack of a unified definition. This paper reviews the efficacy and safety of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) in the treatment of TRD.

Abstract:

Background and aim: Due to the lack of evidence on the effectiveness of Electroconvulsive therapy in the treatment of children with depression and the lack of meta-analysis studies in this area in recent years and the consensus of previous studies, the present study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of Electroconvulsive therapy in the treatment of depressive disorder in children. Method: all articles published in international databases such as PubMed, Scopus, Science Direct, Embase between January 2000 and March 2022 included.

Abstract:

The results of successful treatment of schizophrenic psychosis with persistent catatonic symptoms, refusal to eat in a patient with epilepsy are presented. In view of the progressive course of the disease, the lack of dynamics from the ongoing drug treatment, the method of electroconvulsive therapy was applied. Epileptic seizures and visual signs of brain epileptization were absent with the development of psychosis. As a result of the course of electroconvulsive therapy (9 procedures), the patient's clinical condition improved significantly. This observation illustrates the possibility of usin

Abstract:

In-patients suffering from major depressive disorder (endogenous subtype) were randomly allocated to treatment by either traditional ECT with constant-voltage modified sine-wave stimuli (n = 17) or modern, constant-current brief-pulse ECT (n = 14). All treatments were bilateral and monitored by simultaneous recording by EEG. The severity of depressive illness was assessed the day before treatment, after three treatments, and seven days after the last treatment. The improvement and final depression rating scores, the likelihood of recovery, and the average number of treatments received were vir

Abstract:

Introduction: Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is a safe and effective treatment for treatment resistant severe mental disorders. However, it has a high relapse rate, following the acute course (A‑ECT). Maintenance treatment is recommended to increase remission rate and duration. Maintenance ECT (M‑ECT) is an option, although under‑prescribed. The aim of this study was to assess M‑ECT effectiveness in reducing number and duration of hospital admissions, as well as associated costs, in patients with severe mental disorders. Mirror study comparing number and duration of hospital admissions before

Abstract:

Electroconvulsive therapy is an efficacious treatment for some acute or drug resistant psychiatric disorders. However, there is some concern with memory impairment and brain damage and in order to decrease these complications, some changes to the technical aspect of electroconvulsive therapy were implemented during the last few decades. One of the major changes is the use of unilateral electrical stimulation on the non-dominant hemisphere which leads to less memory impairment and faster recovery time of cognitive functions. However, for optimal efficacy several variables have to be understood

Aims and MethodPeople receiving electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) in one clinic completed side-effect rating questionnaires during treatment, and a questionnaire rating their experience of different aspects of treatment on completion of the treatment course.ResultsSide-effects were commonly reported, but predominantly rated as mild or moderate. Most people reported that ECT had made them a little or a lot better, and that the treatment had been fairly or very well explained. Fewer than a fifth of respondents rated ECT as slightly or much worse than going to the dentist.Clinical ImplicationsWe re
