“…To our knowledge, only fourteen case reports have been published concerning catatonia with OCD manifestation (Blacker, 1966;Duarte-Batista et al, 2020;D'Urso et al, 2012;Elia et al, 2005;Eryılmaz et al, 2014;Fontenelle et al, 2007;Hermesh et al, 1989;Jagadheesan et al, 2002;Jaimes-Albornoz et al, 2021;Makhinson et al, 2012;Mukai et al, 2011;Nikjoo et al, 2022;SACHDEVA et al, 2015), among which only four articles have shown ECT efficacy for recurrent catatonia (D'Urso et al, 2012;Eryılmaz et al, 2014;Jagadheesan et al, 2002;Makhinson et al, 2012). A study by D'Urso et al showed successful treatment of catatonia and OCD whereas, Duarte-Batista et al in their study depicted transient improvement of catatonia, eventually requiring Deep Brain Stimulation (Duarte-Batista et al, 2020;D'Urso et al, 2012).…”
