Abstract
Abstract: To our knowledge, no report has been made of safe concurrent treatment with the novel muscarinic antipsychotic agent KarXT and electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). The drug has the potential for influencing the ECT procedure as well as outcomes. These issues are explored in the context of a case in which KarXT and ECT were successfully combined safely and repeatedly.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of ECT covers all aspects of contemporary electroconvulsive therapy, reporting on major clinical and research developments worldwide. Leading clinicians and researchers examine the effects of induced seizures on behavior and on organ systems; review important research results on the mode of induction, occurrence, and propagation of seizures; and explore the difficult sociological, ethical, and legal issues concerning the use of ECT.
