This study introduces a wavelet packet analysis algorithm to detect seizures during electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). The method accurately identifies seizure periods in EEG signals, offering a valuable tool for ECT monitoring.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Signal Processing

Background:

  • Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is a vital treatment for severe depression.
  • Monitoring seizures during ECT is crucial for treatment efficacy and safety.
  • Existing seizure detection methods may require refinement for ECT-specific applications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate a novel algorithm for detecting seizures induced by ECT.
  • To utilize wavelet packet (WP) analysis of electroencephalogram (EEG) signals for seizure identification.
  • To assess the sensitivity and false detection rates of the proposed method.

Main Methods:

  • EEG signals from 41 recordings of nine patients undergoing ECT were analyzed.
  • A wavelet packet (WP) analysis algorithm was applied to identify dominant frequency bands during the ictal period.

  • The energy ratio of these bands, derived from WP coefficients, was used as a seizure detection index.

    • Main Results:

    • The algorithm demonstrated effective seizure detection during ECT.
    • Sensitivity in ECT seizure detection ranged from 76% to 95%.
    • The false detection rate varied between 6% and 13% across four different detection approaches.

    Conclusions:

    • Wavelet packet analysis provides a promising approach for automated seizure detection in ECT.
    • The proposed method offers a reliable and sensitive tool for monitoring ECT-induced seizures.
    • Further research can refine this technique for enhanced clinical application in neuromodulation therapies.
