Korttidseffekt av rTMS jämfört med ECT i samband med behandling av depression: En metaanalys
(2012) PSYK01 20112Department of Psychology
- Abstract
- This meta-analysis examines the antidepressive efficacy of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) when compared to electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) in a short term perspective. A literature search was performed with the intention to include all randomized clinical trials. A total of seven articles were included. Results showed that both rTMS and ECT had a significant antidepressive effect (p<0.05), measured in score difference on Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS). The effect was not significant (p=0.0599) between the two treatment groups in a comparison on HDRS. Effect sizes were calculated and were in all cases but one larger in the ECT group. An effect size difference of d=0.76 (p=0.0160) in favour for ECT was found... (More)

- Metaanlysen undersöker antidepressiv effekt av repetitiv transkranial magnetstimulering (rTMS) jämfört med elektrokonvulsiv terapi (ECT) i ett korttidsperspektiv. En litteratursökning genomfördes med avsikt att inkludera samtliga randomiserade kliniska prövningar där de två behandlingsteknikerna ställdes mot varandra. Totalt sju artiklar inkluderades. Resultatet visade att både rTMS och ECT hade en signifikant antidepressiv effekt (p<0.05), mätt i poängskillnad på Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS). Effekten var inte signifikant (p=0.0599) mellan behandlingsgrupperna vid jämförelse av HDRS. Effektstorlekar beräknades och dessa var större i samtliga fall utom ett för ECT-gruppen. Effektstorleksskillnaden var d=0.76 (p=0.0160) till... (More)

Effektstorleksskillnaden var d=0.76 (p=0.0160) till fördel för ECT när denna ställdes mot rTMS. Studierna var dock heterogena och inkluderade ett mindre antal deltagare. Slutsatsen blir därför att rTMS fortsatt får ses som en experimentell metod och att ytterligare studier behövs innan den kan implementeras i vardaglig klinisk praxis. (Less)
