A group of 231 psychiatric patients were evaluated (with the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale and the Halstead-Reitan Neuropsychological Test Battery) before and after electroconvulsive therapy. Improvement during the course of therapy was shown in 96% of the measures and significant improvement (p less than 0.05) occurred in 37.5% of the measures, indicating generally improved functioning. The performance of these patients on the pre-ECT testing was generally in the range characteristic of patients with documented brain damage, but the score improved during the course of treatment to the borderline normal level.
一组231名精神科患者在接受电休克治疗前后接受了评估（使用韦氏成人智力量表和霍尔斯特德-雷坦神经心理测试组）。96%的测量指标显示在治疗过程中有改善，37.5%的测量指标有显著改善（p小于0.05），表明功能总体上有所改善。这些患者在ECT治疗前测试中的表现通常处于有脑损伤记录患者的特征范围内，但在治疗过程中分数提高到了临界正常水平。
