The successful use of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) for a patient in catatonic stupor with joint contracture is reported. A 53-year-old woman, who had been diagnosed with schizophrenia, developed a catatonic stupor unresponsive to neuroleptics. Physical emaciation gradually developed under food refusal and poor nutrition. Joint contracture of her extremities resulted from the long period of being bedridden in the same posture. In this case, modified ECT was dramatically effective for catatonic stupor without any complication despite the joint contracture.
据报道，电休克疗法（ECT）成功用于一名患有关节挛缩的紧张性木僵患者。一名53岁的女性，被诊断为精神分裂症，出现了对抗精神病药物无反应的紧张性木僵。在拒食和营养不良的情况下，身体逐渐消瘦。由于长期以相同姿势卧床，她的四肢出现了关节挛缩。在这种情况下，改良ECT对紧张性木僵非常有效，尽管存在关节挛缩，但未出现任何并发症。
