Brain shock therapy gets a Memory-Saving makeover
NCT ID NCT04099342
Summary
This study is testing a refined version of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) for people with severe, treatment-resistant depression. The goal is to focus the electrical stimulation more precisely on a specific brain area to relieve depression symptoms while causing less memory loss, which is a common side effect of standard ECT. Twenty participants will receive this adjusted treatment to see if it works as well as regular ECT but with fewer negative effects on memory.
