Can a tailored shock beat depression without the brain fog?

NCT ID NCT05699226

Summary

This study is testing a new way to adjust the electrical dose used in Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT) for severe depression. Researchers want to see if customizing the dose for each person can improve depression relief while causing fewer memory and thinking problems compared to the standard fixed dose. The trial will involve 50 older adults with depression who are already scheduled to receive ECT.
