Abstract

Background: Little information is available on response to electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) in patients with bipolar disorder (BD) from India.

Aim: This exploratory study aims to evaluate and compare the sociodemographic and clinical profiles, treatment outcomes of BD patients with depression and mania/mixed episode who received ECT and to evaluate the predictors of response to ECT.

Results: Data of 278 BD patients who received 325 ECT courses were extracted from the ECT register. The number courses of ECT for bipolar depression (n = 202) exceeded those for mania/mixed episodes (n = 123). In terms of response to ECT, >75% response was achieved in 63.3% cases and >50% response was seen in about 90% of the patients. No significant difference was seen in response to ECTs between bipolar depression and mania/mixed episodes.

Conclusion: The present study suggests that about two-thirds of the BD patients show more than 75% response to ECT, and more than 90% of the BD patients show more than 50% response to ECT.

使用电休克疗法治疗躁郁症的经验：一项来自北印度的回顾性研究。

背景：目的：这项探索性研究旨在评估和比较接受电休克治疗的抑郁症和躁狂症/混合发作的双相情感障碍（BD）患者的社会人口学和临床概况、治疗结果，并评估电休克治疗反应的预测因素：从电疗登记册中提取了278名接受了325个疗程电疗的双相情感障碍患者的数据。双相抑郁症患者接受电痉挛疗法的疗程数（202个疗程）超过了躁狂/混合发作患者（123个疗程）。就对电痉挛疗法的反应而言，63.3%的病例达到了>75%的反应，约90%的患者达到了>50%的反应。双相抑郁和躁狂/混合发作患者对电疗的反应无明显差异：本研究表明，约三分之二的双相抑郁症患者对电疗反应超过75%，超过90%的双相抑郁症患者对电疗反应超过50%。
