The efficacy of ECT was investigated in a double-blind trial. Twenty-two patients with schizophrenia received trifluoperazine and were randomly allocated to receive eight real or eight simulated ECTs. In the first eight weeks, the group receiving real ECTs showed significantly more improvement as measured on the Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale. However, the groups showed no significant differences from the twelfth week onwards. The superiority of real ECT was not confirmed at the end of six months.
在一项双盲试验中研究了电休克疗法（ECT）的疗效。22名精神分裂症患者接受了三氟拉嗪治疗，并被随机分配接受8次真实或8次模拟电休克治疗。在前八周，根据简明精神病评定量表测量，接受真实电休克治疗的组改善更为显著。然而，从第十二周起，两组之间没有显著差异。六个月结束时，未证实真实电休克疗法的优越性。
