Meanings of bilateral ect in inglês

Methods: Sixty-two patients with schizophrenia received combination treatment with bilateral ECT and flupenthixol.

Conclusions: This preliminary study indicates that treatment with high-dosage bilateral ECT speeds clinical response in patients with schizophrenia.

There is also continuing controversy regarding the relative efficacy and adverse effects of right unilateral and bilateral ECT.

In contrast, high-dose bilateral ECT- atreatmentwith particularly rapid antidepressant effects-resultedin the greatest peak slow-wave amplitude in both hemispheres.

High-dosage right unilateral ECT did not differ or was superior to bilateral ECT in efficacy and resulted in less severe amnesia.

There may be a therapeutic window of stimulus intensity in impacting on the efficacy of bilateral ECT, which needs further study.

Methods: During an acute ECT phase, 319 patients were randomized to treatment with moderate dosage bilateral ECT or high-dosage right unilateral ECT.

We also determine whether a similar model can be used to identify regions associated with electrode placement (unilateral versus bilateral ECT).

High-dose, right-sided, unilateral ECT is at least equivalent to moderate-dosage bilateral ECT in efficacy, but retains advantages with respect to cognitive adverse effects.
