There is currently substantial heterogeneity in electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) treatment methods between clinical settings. Understanding how this variation practice related to outcomes essential for optimizing service delivery. The Clinical Alliance and Research ECT Network a research framework with the aims of improving practice, enabling auditing benchmarking, facilitating collection naturalistic data.The network variables collected rationale use particular outcome measures are...
Abstract: Circadian rhythms disruptions, including abnormalities of circadian phase position and melatonin secretion, have been described in major depression (MD). Arylalkylamine N-acetyltransferase (AANAT) is a key enzyme the pathway involved oscillations levels. We assessed contribution AANAT gene variability to susceptibility MD considering common rare genetic variations through sequential sequencing single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)-based genotyping approach sample 445 unrelated...
Objectives The use of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) in Spain has not been systematically evaluated since 2000 to 2001. aim this study is assess the current ECT Spain. Methods A cross-sectional survey was conducted covering every psychiatric unit as December 31, 2012. Results About 93.2% centers answered questionnaire. 54.9% units applied at a rate 0.66 patients per 10,000 inhabitants. Wide variations existed among different autonomous communities and provinces. Written informed consent...
Objective To describe a 2-year follow-up in cohort of patients with major depressive disorder treated pharmacotherapy plus short-term course electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) over the index episode. Methods This naturalistic study included 127 patients. After remission, same regimen was maintained all patients, whereas 44 also received continuation/maintenance ECT (C/M-ECT). Demographic and clinical data were reported for C/M-ECT. The compared two years before after episode remission. Results...
Abstract Seasonal changes in mood and diurnal preference are two well‐characterized chronobiological phenotypes major depressive disorder (MDD) bipolar (BD). The biological mechanisms regulating physiological related to seasonality chronotype involve several genes known as “clock” or circadian genes. Our goal was study the relationship between polygenic risk score (PRS) obtained from a set of clock traits patients with disorders. sample included 445 disorders (256 MDD; 189 BD). Seasonality...
Objectives This study aims to conduct a descriptive analysis of the clinical features and treatment responses in 6 patients with catatonia who received maintenance electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). Methods Our included all underwent ECT (mECT) at Hospital Clínic de Barcelona between September 2020 2022 following catatonic episode. Results The cohort comprised 5 schizophrenia 1 patient major depressive disorder. Among schizophrenia, first episode occurred several years after their initial...
The aim of this study was to assess the current use electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) in Catalonia (Spain) as compared with ECT practice 17 years ago (1993).This a descriptive, cross-sectional using structured questionnaire collect data regarding Catalan psychiatric units 2010. A comparative approach used respect previously published data.Data were obtained from 25 27 (92.6%) surveyed. 20 facilities (80%, opposed 60% 1993), and all cases, brief-pulse device used. most commonly anesthetic...
Few systematic evaluations have been performed of the efficacy electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) as a relapse prevention strategy in major depressive disorder (MDD). This is single-blind, multicenter, randomized controlled trial to compare and tolerability pharmacotherapy plus maintenance ECT (M-Pharm/ECT) versus alone (M-Pharm) MDD relapse. Subjects with who had remitted bilateral acute (n = 37) were randomly assigned receive M-Pharm/ECT 19, 14 treatments) or M-Pharm 18) for nine months. The...
Introduction The practice of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) exhibits variability across various domains, both between regions, and centers within the same region. ECT Working Group Catalan Society Psychiatry conducted a comprehensive survey in Catalonia, Spain, to assess current status those variables essential clinical ECT. Materials Methods comprised 50 items, including question types such as multiple-choice, numerical response, open-ended questions. It was administered 20 public...
