Brain shock therapy tested: new method aims to preserve memories while fighting depression
NCT ID NCT05402657
Summary
This study tested two different ways of giving electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) to people with severe depression. Researchers wanted to see if placing the electrodes in a different spot on the head (frontoparietal) works as well as the standard spot (temporoparietal) but causes fewer memory problems. The trial involved 156 adults and followed them for 24 weeks to measure changes in depression and memory.
