NCT06607679
Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is an effective method that has been used for many years in the treatment of psychiatric disorders and is currently administered under general anesthesia. This study evaluated the effect of ECT on intracranial pressure by measuring the optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) using ultrasonography. The primary aim was to determine how ONSD values measured during the postictal period change compared to baseline values. Secondary objectives included identifying factors related to the participants and the ECT procedure that affect ONSD.

In the proposed study, the investigators will utilize resting-state functional MRI (fMRI) and structural MRI-based electrical field modeling to study the effect of electroconvulsive therapy on human neural circuitry. Our study will recruit patients who are beginning treatment with bilateral electroconvulsive therapy (N=75). Our design will be longitudinal where patients will be followed up until their 8th week electroconvulsive therapy clinically. The primary measure of interest will be the slope of clinical change estimated with mixed effect modeling (see Approach). Secondary measures will be the cognitive performance change between baseline and the 8th week electroconvulsive therapy time point.
