Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • changes in the 17-item Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD-17)

    The HAMD-17 score ranges from 0 to 52. A higher score indicates a worse outcome.

    At baseline and 4-week follow-up

Secondary Outcomes (4)

  • changes in the Repeatable Battery for the Assessment of Neuropsychological Status (RBANS)

    At baseline and 4-week follow-up

  • changes in the spectral power of the electroencephalogram (EEG) in square microvolt during resting state

    At baseline and 4-week follow-up

  • changes in the spectral power of the electroencephalogram (EEG) in square microvolt during the auditory mismatch negativity task

    At baseline and 4-week follow-up

  • changes in the spectral power of the electroencephalogram (EEG) in square microvolt during the facial recognition task.

    At baseline and 4-week follow-up

Study Arms (2)

magnetic seizure therapy

EXPERIMENTAL

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

12 treatment sessions of ECT, three times per week.

Device: ThymatronSystem Ⅳ Electroconvulsive System

Interventions

In addition to treatment as usual (TAU), participants were supposed to receive twelve sessions of MST in four weeks (three sessions per week)
