NCT ID NCT07579819
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether extra psychoeducational nursing sessions could improve quality of life, emotional well-being, and reduce anxiety in 120 adults receiving modified electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) for depression, bipolar disorder, or schizophrenia. Half the patients got the sessions; the other half did not. Researchers measured changes using standard questionnaires before and after the intervention.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
psychoeducational nursing intervention
What this could lead to
If it works, this could lead to a standard supportive care program that helps patients feel better emotionally and mentally during ECT treatment.
What could go wrong
This is a small, single-site study with 60 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. The intervention is behavioral, not a drug, so benefits may be modest.
