Age-Based Seizure Threshold Determination
The Journal of ECT, 2013The intent was to improve seizure threshold titration by decreasing stimuli number.An age-based method of titration for initial seizure threshold bilateral electroconvulsive therapy was constructed and used in 15 women and 9 men aged 35 to 80 years. Titration steps were one eighth, one fourth, three eighths, one half, five eighths, three fourths, 1 ...

Increased Seizure Threshold Related to Tamoxifen
Journal of Psychiatric Practice, 2014Both animal and human evidence suggest that estrogen has a modulatory role in seizure threshold, although there have been no reports to date suggesting the relevance of this to ECT practice. We describe the case of a woman who had been receiving maintenance ECT for several years with a stable seizure threshold.

Seizure threshold in electroconvulsive therapy: I. Initial seizure threshold
Biological Psychiatry, 1995We measured initial seizure threshold by means of a structured stimulus dosage titration procedure in a clinical sample of 111 depressed patients undergoing brief-pulse, constant-current electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). Initial seizure threshold was approximately 60 millicoumbs (mc) (10 Joules) on average, but varied widely (6-fold) across patients ...

Ethnicity and seizure threshold
Progress in Neuro-Psychopharmacology and Biological Psychiatry, 20001. Seizure threshold is an important variable in modern ECT treatment planning. To date, age, gender, and electrode placement have been used to predict seizure threshold, but the potential impact of ethnicity has received little attention. 2. In a retrospective pilot study of patients who received ECT, 20 pairs of first admission, right unilateral ...

Phencyclidine raises kindled seizure thresholds
Pharmacology Biochemistry and Behavior, 1982Phencyclidine (PCP) has been reported to have both anesthetic and seizure-inducing properties. In the present experiment the effect of PCP on previously established seizures, kindled in the amygdala, was examined, using rats as subjects. In a repeated measures design three doses of PCP (1, 2 and 5 mg/kg) were compared with a saline control condition ...

Impact of Psychotropic drugs on Seizure threshold (P6.311)
Neurology, 2017Objective: To review existing literature regarding the impact of psychotropic medications on seizure threshold. Background: Psychiatric disorders represent a common comorbidity in epilepsy and require utmost consideration when treating the epileptic ...

Genetic influences on electrical seizure threshold
Brain Research, 1998C57BL/6J (B6) and DBA/2J (D2) mice have been characterized previously as seizure-resistant and seizure-sensitive, respectively, a distinction based primarily upon a differential response to the convulsant effects of various drugs. In the present study, electroconvulsive shock (ECS) was used to assess maximal electroshock threshold (MET) in B6, D2 and ...
