Abstract:
In a prospective study of the effect of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) on tardive dyskinesia, one patient (of nine) showed dramatic improvement following her fourth treatment. While ECT was effective in only one patient, further studies are warranted to elucidate the mechanism of action of ECT on this movement disorder.
