We present a case of neuroleptic induced akathisia resistant to traditional drug therapy which improved with electroconvulsive therapy. If confirmed in further cases, these findings call for well designed studies on the efficacy of this treatment, especially in nonresponders to traditional therapy or in a subgroup of patients suffering from akathisia and depression.
我们报告一例对传统药物治疗耐药的抗精神病药所致静坐不能，经电休克治疗后病情改善。如果在更多病例中得到证实，这些发现需要开展关于这种治疗疗效的精心设计的研究，特别是针对对传统治疗无反应者或患有静坐不能和抑郁症的患者亚组。
