EEG Characteristics in ECT
June 8, 2022 updated by: Jeremy Miller, University of New Mexico
A Randomized Pilot Study Examining DCEEG Characteristics in Ketamine Versus Methohexital Induction in Depressed Patients Receiving Electroconvulsive Therapy
The investigators will be examining slow-wave characteristics in depressed patients receiving electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) using direct current electroencephalogram (dcEEG) by anesthesia induction agent.

Detailed Description
This is a pilot project using dcEEG to look at infra-slow waves in depressed patients receiving ECT randomized to ketamine or methohexital where ketamine suppresses infra-slow waves.
The rationale for this project is to identify biomarkers of treatment adequacy in ECT, which could lead to decreased morbidity and mortality with the procedure and lessen the burden of depression in our patient population.

Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Clinical Efficacy of ECT
Time Frame: Outcome measures will be assessed the first, second, middle, and final ECT treatment over the course of 1 month on average for each patient. Data will be reported at 1 year.
|
Quick Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology (QIDS) and Self Reporting version (QIDS-SR) - Range 0 - 48 with higher number indicating worsening depression.
|
Outcome measures will be assessed the first, second, middle, and final ECT treatment over the course of 1 month on average for each patient. Data will be reported at 1 year.

Cognitive performance
Time Frame: Outcome measures assessed at first, second, middle, and final ECT treatment over the course of 1 month on average for each patient. Data will be reported at 1 year.
|
This neuropsychological battery will be used to compute composite z-scores that represent global cognitive function at each time point |
Outcome measures assessed at first, second, middle, and final ECT treatment over the course of 1 month on average for each patient. Data will be reported at 1 year.
|
Direct current electroencephalogram slow wave phenomenon (exploratory outcome)
Time Frame: dcEEG data will be collected the first, second, middle, and final ECT treatment over the course of 1 month on average for each patient. Data will be reported at 1 year.
|
Analysis will assess magnitude of slow-wave phenomena (area under the curve in cm^2)
|
dcEEG data will be collected the first, second, middle, and final ECT treatment over the course of 1 month on average for each patient. Data will be reported at 1 year.
|
ECT parameters and their correlation to production of slow-wave phenomenon
Time Frame: This will be assessed throughout the year.
|
Analysis will correlate electrode placement and pulse width with production of slow-waves on dcEEG.
|
This will be assessed throughout the year.
