Increased Pulse Width and ECT Outcome: Clinical Data From Spain
Out on Pubmed, from investigators in Spain, is this LTE:
Here is a link to the supplementary information:
This is a good faith attempt to try to make some sense of a small amount of retrospectively collected clinical data on pulse width. There are too many uncontrolled variables to make much of this, other than to note that, for some patients, increasing stimulus pulse width, may potentiate the treatment. Our field still could benefit from more systematized knowledge of how to to best proceed from from less intense to more intense forms of ECT. That will come in due course from adequately powered studies.
In the meantime, thanks to our Spanish colleagues for raising these issues in their LTE.
