Treatment of Parkinson's disease with electroconvulsive therapy
Psychiatr Clin North Am.
1991 Dec.
Abstract
There is substantial evidence that electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) can ameliorate the symptoms of Parkinson's disease independent of any antidepressant activity. ECT thus presents a treatment alternative for the severely impaired, medication-resistant Parkinson's patient. In this article, we review the literature on this subject and present our recommendations for current clinical practice.
