Is the Clonic Phase of Seizures in Patients Treated with Electroconvulsive Therapy Related to Age and Stimulus Intensity?
This study demonstrated that age and ECT-intensity are negatively correlated with seizure duration, particularly in the clonic phase. The present observations are not fully consistent with the basic guidelines of the APA-ECT practical manual. Accordingly, the predictions regarding the therapeutic effect of ECT can be based on both the seizure duration and the clonic phase.
