About this study

Despite advancements in Magnetic Seizure Therapy (MST) and Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT) for Major Depressive Disorder (MDD), there remains a need for further research to replicate clinical outcomes and understand the therapeutic targets of these treatments. This study aims to address these gaps through a double-blinded, randomized, non-inferiority investigation comparing the efficacy, tolerability, cognitive adverse effects, and neurophysiological biomarkers of MST and bilateral ECT in patients with MDD.
