Abstract

Unilateral and bitemporal electrode placement has been the dominant mode of delivery in electroconvulsive therapy. We report 3 patients receiving maintenance electroconvulsive therapy where the use of dominant electrode placements was ineffective. Changing to left anterior right temporal electrode placement resulted in marked clinical improvement. This supports the limited literature on this electrode placement.

摘要

单侧和双侧颞部电极放置一直是电休克治疗中主要的电极放置方式。我们报告了3例接受维持性电休克治疗的患者，在这些患者中，使用主要电极放置方式无效。改为左前右颞电极放置后，临床症状明显改善。这支持了关于这种电极放置方式的有限文献报道。
