The Effect of Electro-Convulsive Therapy on Initiative

Journal of Mental Science, 1959
Helping the senile patient is not easy, and treatment today is largely palliative. Recent cybernetic work (Ashby, 2), however, offered a suggestion that some alleviation might be possible. This paper describes briefly the underlying theory and how we investigated the matter clinically. (Only an outline of the theory can be given here.)

A Comparison of Techniques in Electro-Convulsive Therapy

British Journal of Psychiatry, 1968
Electroconvulsive therapy, modified by intravenous anaesthesia and muscle relaxants, has long been accepted as a satisfactory form of treatment. Relatively simple and safe, and effective in selected cases, the technique has undergone little change in recent years and seems almost in danger of becoming fixed indefinitely in its present form.

The Mode of Action of Electro-Convulsive Therapy

Journal of Mental Science, 1953
How electro-convulsive therapy (E.C.T.) acts, what is the chain of cause and effect from the electrical application to the clinical improvement, are questions whose answers are as uncertain as ever, in spite of the importance of such knowledge to psychiatry and in spite of the researches of nearly twenty years.

Electro-Convulsive Therapy with Minimum Hazard

British Journal of Psychiatry, 1982
SummaryThe inter-electrode resistance during ECT is shown to be very variable, a finding which invalidates the measurement of shocks in joules. With square wave pulses of selected current value the threshold for convulsion may be below 100 milliamperes or above 2,000 milliamperes.

Masui. The Japanese journal of anesthesiology, 2006
ECT (electro-convulsive therapy) has been used for the treatment of depressive patients. First it was applied in patients only with sedatives without muscle relaxants, but now we employ muscle relaxants to avoid convulsion and its complications. It is called modified ECT (mECT).
