NONCONVULSIVE ELECTRIC STIMULATION THERAPY
Abstract
Convulsive treatment through frontal leads inhibits respiration temporarily; nonconvulsive treatment through frontal or temporopariental leads stimulates respiration.
Convulsive treatment through frontal leads relieves depression but reduces awareness for memory content and may enhance anxiety, while nonconvulsive treatment through temporoparietal leads relieves anxiety and restores awareness for memory content, but may enhance depression. By using both, it is possible to avoid the "untreatable" residual after electroshock treatment.
