In this paper we review the parameters that define the ECT electrical stimulus and discuss their biophysical roles. We also present the summary metrics of charge and energy that are …

Marginally suprathreshold charge (1.5 × seizure threshold) is recommended in bilateral (Bitemporal/Bifrontal) ECT with brief pulse ECT (pulse width of 1 ms or more). Some evidence …

The fourth and final step is to calculate the ECT dose that is set, measured in units of electrical charge; that is, millicoulombs (mC). The dose is calculated using the formula: Charge = …

Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) or electroshock therapy (EST) is a psychiatric treatment during which a generalized seizure is electrically induced to manage refractory mental disorders. [1] . …

In this article, we review the parameters that define the electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) electrical stimulus and discuss their biophysical roles. We also present the summary metrics of charge …

2010年7月1日 · Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) stimulus parameters, such as pulse amplitude, pulse width, pulse frequency, and stimulus duration, differently influence seizure threshold...

2025年1月6日 · Regional brain morphometry and magnitude of electrical current (|E|) were analyzed, along with seizure duration and stimulation charge at seizure threshold (ECT1) and …

2021年5月15日 · Among 1,383 patients undergoing initial RUL-BP ECT dose titration, the mean charge to induce a seizure was 75.1±38.4 mC. While statistically significant, effects of sex, …

Abstract Stimulus dose titration for electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), the method to determine seizure threshold accurately, has not been commonly practiced. We describe our early …

2012年6月30日 · Bilateral electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) seizure threshold charge averaged 162.8 and 125.1 mC at 900 and 1150 mA, respectively (p < 0.02), measured in randomized …
