Official Title: Prospective Treatment Study of Catatonia Patients With Right Unilateral Electroconvulsive Treatment (RUL ECT) and Bilateral Electroconvulsive Treatment (BL ECT) Regimens
Brief Summary:
The purpose of this treatment study is to compare the effectiveness of different electrode placements used in Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT) in the treatment of catatonia. In this study Electroconvulsive Therapy will be compared to medications used in the treatment of catatonia. Medications will be administered by the primary team as part of standard of care. Medications are not primarily being used as a part of this research study.
This treatments study, will be able to compare response rate of catatonia to right unilateral electroconvulsive treatment (RUL ECT) and Bilateral electroconvulsive treatment (BL ECT).
