Electroconvulsive Therapy

Electroconvulsive Therapy

Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), or shock therapy, remains a critical biomedical intervention for severe, treatment-resistant depression. While its origins can be traced back to Hippocrates' observations that malaria-induced convulsions alleviated mental illness, modern ECT has evolved significantly from its earlier, more primitive applications. First introduced in 1938 by Ugo Cerletti and his colleagues, ECT involves inducing controlled seizures using electrical currents. In its early...

Summary

This summary is machine-generated.

Electronic behavioral interventions show promise for headache management, but most studies do not yet utilize mobile devices. While interventions using mobile technology are acceptable, more data is needed on long-term effectiveness and data privacy.

Area of Science:

Neurology
Digital Health
Behavioral Science

Background:

Growing interest in electronic behavioral interventions and mobile technologies for chronic conditions like migraines.
Limited clinical evidence on the feasibility and effectiveness of these digital interventions for headache management.

Purpose of the Study:

To systematically review the literature on electronic behavioral interventions for primary headache disorders.
Focus on interventions suitable for out-of-office use, including computer and mobile-based delivery.

Main Methods:

Conducted a systematic electronic database search (PubMed, PsycINFO, Embase) up to December 2015.
Analyzed studies based on delivery modality (computer, smartphone, etc.), intervention type (CBT, biofeedback, relaxation), headache type, duration, adherence, and outcomes.

Main Results:

Identified 23 eligible studies; most used computers (14), PDAs (2), or CD-ROMs (2).
No studies utilized smartphones or wearable devices.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) was the most common intervention (48%), followed by relaxation (35%) and biofeedback (22%).
Intervention durations varied widely, from days to months.

Conclusions:

Most electronic behavioral interventions for headache treatment do not currently employ mobile devices.
Interventions using mobile devices were found to be acceptable to patients.
Significant data gaps exist regarding optimal dosage, long-term efficacy, and data security/privacy.
