Abstract

Objective:To explore the influence of Modified Electroconvulsive Therapy(MECT) on cognition and Endocrine Hormone Levels(EHL).Methods:Fifteen patients with schizophrenia or major depression were recruited in the current study.The P300 and EHL were examined in all subjects before treatment and after a 2-week treatment with MECT in those patients.Results: The wave amplitudes of P2,N2,P3 was significantly higher in posttreatment group than that of pretreatment.There was only T3 that was significant lower in posttreatment group than that of pretreatment.Conclusions: MECT can improve patient attention,thinking,judgments,and the ability to integrate speech and has little impact on the EHL of patient.
