3.Remarks on the results of treatment for paranoid schizophrenic patients with electroconvulsive combined neuroleptic therapy
Journal of Medical and Pharmaceutical Information 2005;0(10):27-30
Background: Schizophrenia is a chronic, severe psychotic disease with high incidence. Treatment of schizophrenia with neuroleptic is a major medical advance, but sometime its result is still limited. Objective: To study the effect of electroconvulsive therapy (EC) in treatment of paranoid schizophrenic patients. Subject and methods: 101 paranoid schizophrenic patients treated by neuroleptic alone or neuroleptic combined EC, were treated in the Mental Department of Hospital 103 and Nam Dinh Mental Hospital from May, 2006 to June, 2007. Results and Conclusion: All 100% of the patients had a positive response to EC; the mean times of EC were 7.63\xb11.4 times for one. The regression of hallucination was observed after 4.6\xb11.49 times of EC; delusion after 4.96\xb11.4 times; suicide attempt after 3.25\xb10.96 times and refusing to eat after 4.96\xb12.1 times of EC; insomnia disappeared after 4.96\xb12.1 times of EC. Some side effects of the EC therapy: 100% of patients had orientation disorder; headache with light and moderate level accounted for 69.65% and 26.79%, respectively. Combination therapy made patients more stable, compared to neuroleptic therapy alone (p<0.05).

6.Is Electroconvulsive Therapy Safe for Patient with Very Low BMI? A Case Report

Medicine and Health 2016;11(1):83-86
A case of rapid stabilization using electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) for a major
depressive disordered (MDD) patient with life-threatening low body mass index
(BMI) is reported. This case report focuses on a 55-year-old Malay housewife with
underlying hyperthyroidism in a euthyroid state who presented with MDD with
mood congruent psychotic features, which were precipitated by the death of her
husband. Her BMI was only 11 kg/m2
due to severe anorexia, and she was highly
suicidal. Peripheral total parenteral nutrition was started and ECT was commenced
for rapid stabilization on top of tablet escitalopram 15 mg nocte. Full remission was achieved after nine ECTs and steady healthy weight gain was achieved throughout
admission. The patient was discharged at BMI of 13 kg/m2
with good appetite. ECT
was safe for very low BMI MDD patient.

7.The Efficacy and Safety of Concurrent Administration of Clozapine and Electroconvulsive Therapy: A Case Report.
Korean Journal of Psychopharmacology 2000;11(1):73-77
To assess the efficacy and safety of combining electroconvulsive therapy(ECT) and clozapine in patients with treatment-resistant schizophrenia, the authors reviewed use of this combination in one treatment-resistant schizophrenic inpatient and to explain the mechanism of this combination, we measured the blood level of clozapine and its metabolite with high performance liquid chromatography(HPLC) before, during and after this combination. The combination of clozapine and bilateral ECT was mildly effective and the authors saw no adverse effects during combined treatment. The blood levels of clozapine and its metabolite did not significant change before, during and afyer this combination. Combining ECT and clozapine appears to be safe and is effective without significant change of the blood levels of clozapine and its metabolites in some patients with treatment-resistant schizophrenia.

Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is an interventional technique capable of highly effective neuromodulation in major depressive disorder (MDD), but its antidepressant mechanism remains unclear. By recording the resting-state electroencephalogram (RS-EEG) of 19 MDD patients before and after ECT, we analyzed the modulation effect of ECT on the resting-state brain functional network of MDD patients from multiple perspectives: estimating spontaneous EEG activity power spectral density (PSD) using Welch algorithm; constructing brain functional network based on imaginary part coherence (iCoh) and calculate functional connectivity; using minimum spanning tree theory to explore the topological characteristics of brain functional network. The results show that PSD, functional connectivity, and topology in multiple frequency bands were significantly changed after ECT in MDD patients. The results of this study reveal that ECT changes the brain activity of MDD patients, which provides an important reference in the clinical treatment and mechanism analysis of MDD.

OBJECTIVE: This retrospective case series study of the effectiveness of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) augmentation on clozapine-resistant schizophrenia was conducted by EMR review. METHODS: Clozapine-resistance was defined as persistent psychotic symptoms despite at least 12 weeks of clozapine administration with blood levels over 350 ng/mL in order to rule out pseudo-resistance. Seven in-patients who were taking clozapine and treated with ECT were selected. We analyzed the psychopathology and subscales changed by ECT. RESULTS: The average number of ECT sessions was 13.4 (±4.6). Total Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) score was significantly reduced by 17.9 (±12.8) points (p=0.0384) on average, which represented a reduction of 25.5% (±14.3). 71.4% (5/7) of patients were identified as clinical remission, with at least a 20% reduction in PANSS score. PANSS reduction was associated with number of ECT sessions, stimulus level in the final session, and blood clozapine levels before ECT. However, the negative subscale on the PANSS were not reduced by ECT in any patient. We did not observe any persistent adverse cognitive effects. CONCLUSION: This study supports that ECT augmentation on clozapine-resistant schizophrenia reveals clinically effective and safe. Further research should be done involving a larger number of patients to investigate the effectiveness of clozapine/ECT combination therapy.
