Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation to Maintain Treatment Response to Electroconvulsive Therapy in Depression: A Case Series
Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is the most effective treatment for a refractory major depression in the context of both unipolar and bipolar affective disorders. However, the relapse rate within the first 6 months after a successful course of ECT to treat a depressive episode can be as high 50%. Evidence-based strategies to prevent relapse have partial efficacy and are associated with problema...
متن کاملTranscranial magnetic stimulation in the treatment of mood disorder: a review and comparison with electroconvulsive therapy.
OBJECTIVE To review repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) as a mode of therapy for depression. METHOD The following aspects of rTMS were reviewed and compared with electroconvulsive therapy (ECT): history, basic principles, technical considerations, possible mode of action, safety, adverse effects, and effects on mood in both healthy individuals and those suffering from bipolar ...
متن کاملCost-effectiveness of electroconvulsive therapy compared to repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation for treatment-resistant severe depression: a decision model
BACKGROUND Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is widely applied to treat severe depression resistant to standard treatment. Results from previous studies comparing the cost-effectiveness of this technique with treatment alternatives such as repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) are conflicting. METHOD We conducted a cost-effectiveness analysis comparing ECT alone, rTMS alone and rT...
متن کاملRepetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation versus electroconvulsive therapy for major depression: preliminary results of a randomized trial.
BACKGROUND Many severely depressed patients do not benefit from or tolerate existing treatments. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) has been reported to benefit depression. We compared rTMS to electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) in severely ill, depressed patients. METHODS Twenty-five patients with a major depression (unipolar or bipolar) deemed clinically appropriate for ECT wer...
