EEG in Electroconvulsive Therapy: Is More Intensive Paroxysmal Activity Associated with a Higher Therapeutic Response? (original) (raw)

Neuropsychobiology, 1996

Abstract

EEG records of electroconvulsions were evaluated according to a five-point semiquantitative scale grading the intensity of the paroxysmal activity. A more favorable therapeutic effect of ECT was found to be associated with more pronounced paroxysmal activity on the EEG. The role of this finding for the dosage of energy in the convulsive stimulus is discussed.
