Objective:
The aim of this study was to determine if cranial electrotherapy stimulation (CES) is beneficial in chronically symptomatic bipolar (CSBP) subjects.
Methods:
A retrospective chart review of all consecutive CSBP subjects who were prescribed CES collected demographic and clinical information.
Results:
The Clinical Global Impression improved significantly [mean (SD), 2.7 (0.6) at baseline vs 2.0 (0.0), t = 0, P < 0.001], but mood symptoms change minimally. There were very few adverse effects of CES.
Conclusions:
Patients with CSBP continue to experience symptoms with CES but also are modestly improved.
