Resolution of Cognitive Adverse Effects of Electroconvulsive Therapy in Persons with Schizophrenia: A Prospective Study

Abstract

In patients with schizophrenia, most of acute ECT-induced cognitive impairments recover by the end of 3 months' post-ECT. Further, different electrode placements do not seem to make any difference regarding ultimate recovery of cognitive deficits. Future prospective studies are needed that could address the limitations of this study.
