NCT ID NCT06456983
First seen Feb 03, 2026 · Last updated May 13, 2026 · Updated 7 times
Summary
This study tests whether regular electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) sessions, given over time, can prevent a return of symptoms in people with schizophrenia that did not improve with the strongest medications. About 140 adults who already improved with a short course of ECT will either continue maintenance ECT or receive usual care. The goal is to see if maintenance ECT delays relapse and keeps patients stable longer.
