Biological Psychiatry. 2008.
39
39 Percent of Subjects Meeting Criteria for Response or Remission by Time Patients meeting response or remission criteria after DBS. The proportion of patients responding or reaching remission increased over time to plateau from 6 to 12 months. Mayberg, et al, Neuron. 2005.; Lozano, et al. Biological Psychiatry. 2008.
40
Percentages of Patients With Treatment-Resistant Depression (N=20) Who Responded or Remitted 40 Response was defined as a reduction of ≥50% from baseline in Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAM-D) score; remission was defined as a HAM-D score ≥7.

43 Nonemergent Prior good response to unilateral, nondominant ECT High risk (e.g., acutely suicidal) Prior poor response to unilateral, nondominant ECT Unilateral, nondominant ECT (2.5-6.0 x seizure threshold) (insufficient response) Bilateral ECT (excessive cognitive adverse effects) (chronic, relapsing) Maintenance medication (e.g., lithium plus NT) Maintenance ECT (± medication) Maintenance TMS/VNS (± medication) Possibly DBS Adapted from: Janicak PG, 2006 ECT Potential Role of Therapeutic Neuromodulation for Psychiatric Disorders II © Janicak 10/7/201543
