Evaluation of nonmemory cognitive parameters in psychiatric patients’ pre- and post-electroconvulsive therapy: An observational study

INTRODUCTION: Possibility of cognitive side effects has made electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) questionable. Variable deficits have been debated in memory cognition. Pattern of changes in nonmemory cognition pre- and post-ECT is not clear. METHODOLOGY: Forty patients undergoing ECT were studied on non...

description INTRODUCTION: Possibility of cognitive side effects has made electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) questionable. Variable deficits have been debated in memory cognition. Pattern of changes in nonmemory cognition pre- and post-ECT is not clear. METHODOLOGY: Forty patients undergoing ECT were studied on nonmemory cognitive parameters before ECT, after a course of ECT, and after 4 weeks of last. ECT. RESULTS: Nonmemory cognition improved during the course of ECT and over 4 weeks of ECT. CONCLUSIONS: ECT does not affect the nonmemory cognition adversely.
