Objectives:

To examine the Efficacy and side effects of modified electroconvulsive therapy (MECT) combined with antipsychotic medication in treatment-refractory schizophrenia(TRS).

Methods:

the 39 patients with TRS who had received antipsychotic medication were assigned to receive MECT, and the Positive and Negtive Syndrome Scale (PANSS) ,Treatment Emergent Symptoms Scale (TESS) and Wechsler Memory Scale were used to measure therapeutic efficacy ,side effects and memory function.

Results:

The PANSS scores decreased significantly at 1,4,12 weeks after MECT (P<0.01), and the efficacy ratio of MECT at 1,4,12 weeks treatment was 5%,26%,23% respectively. No significant difference was found on the scores of TESS between before and after endpoint treatment of MECT. The WMS scores decreased significantly at 1 day after endpoint of MECT, but there was no significant difference between before and after 1,2 weeks of endpoint treatment of MECT.

Conclusion:

MECT was effective in TRS case, and it had little side effects and a little effect on memory temporarily.
