“…The importance of minimizing cognitive side-effects was recognized early and unilateral stimulation technique was introduced as early as 1954[44]. Recent efforts to further reduce cognitive side effects focus on changing from brief to ultra brief pulse stimulation[45]. While a few individual testimonies reported longlasting and severe memory disturbances after ECT[46], extensive psychological tests could not detect significant memory deficits beyond six months following a course of ECT[47].…”

“…Insofern schließen sich die Ergebnisse beider Untersuchungen nicht gegenseitig aus. Die Pulsweite hatte in einem Vergleich von ultrabrief-pulse (UBP) mit brief-pulse (BP) keinen Effekt auf das Rückfallrisiko [12], was sich mit unseren Ergebnissen deckt.…”

“…Als potentielle Einflussgrößen wurden unter anderem Pharmakoresistenz [5,8], weibliches Geschlecht [2,8], niedriges Alter [2,9] und die Abwesenheit psychotischer Symptome [5,10] genannt. Ein Zusammenhang zwischen Rückfällen und Parametern der I-EKT wie Elektrodenposition, Ladung und Pulsweite wurde bisher nicht berichtet oder verneint [11,12]. Allerdings haben sich nur wenige Studien bisher mit der Thematik beschäftigt.…”

“…Next, in a recent systematic review and meta-analysis by Tor et al (Tor et al, 2015), at the end of an acute ECT course, greater cognitive side effects with brief pulse than with ultra-brief pulse right unilateral ECT were demonstrated. However, in a more recent multicenter study, there was no long-term cognitive advantage of ultra-brief pulse over brief pulse ECT (Verwijk et al, 2015). Thus, despite the attempt to ameliorate ECT techniques over the years, ECT-induced cognitive side effects remain a relevant topic, and therewith, studies investigating possible therapeutic strategies for preventing or limiting of ECT-induced cognitive impairment remain important.…”
