A double-blind, sham-controlled trial of transcranial direct current stimulation for the treatment of depression
Two recent sham-controlled studies found that transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS)
was an effective treatment for depression. As tDCS is painless, relatively safe and
inexpensive, its efficacy in treating depression warrants further investigation. This double …

A report on mood and cognitive outcomes with right unilateral ultrabrief pulsewidth (0.3 ms) ECT and retrospective comparison with standard pulsewidth right …
C Loo, P Sheehan, M Pigot, W Lyndon - Journal of Affective Disorders, 2007 - Elsevier
Background Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is a highly effective treatment for depression
but its use is limited by the risk of cognitive side effects. This study explored the potential of a
novel approach, ultrabrief pulsewidth (0.3 ms) right unilateral (RUL-UB) ECT, to minimise …

Pharmacological attenuation of electroconvulsive therapy-induced cognitive deficits: theoretical background and clinical findings
M Pigot, C Andrade, CL FRANZCP - The journal of ECT, 2008 - journals.lww.com
Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is an effective treatment for depression and other
psychiatric disorders. However, the practice of ECT is limited by memory and nonmemory
cognitive adverse effects. Technical strategies such as a preference for unilateral over …

Transcranial direct current stimulation priming of therapeutic repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation: a pilot study
Objectives: Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) has been shown to be a safe
treatment of depression, and research efforts are now largely focused on strategies to
enhance its efficacy. Motor cortex experiments suggest that the effects of rTMS can be …

Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation as treatment for anxiety disorders
Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a noninvasive and generally well-
tolerated method of focally stimulating brain regions. It has been shown to be efficacious in
the treatment for depression, but only to a limited degree. It has also been investigated for …
