Scientists hunt for Brain's 'ECT response Code' in depression treatment

NCT ID NCT04451135

Summary

This study aims to understand how brain wave patterns during and after electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) relate to changes in depression symptoms. Researchers are monitoring 31 adults with treatment-resistant depression who are already scheduled for ECT. By measuring specific brain activity patterns during treatment and sleep, they hope to find markers that could one day help predict who will benefit most from ECT.
