Abstract

A patient with a history of nonresponse to electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) was treated with ECT modified by i.v. caffeine before electrical stimulation for some of the seizures. Seizures preceded by i.v. caffeine were longer, and led to marked clinical improvement. Caffeine pretreatment may be a method to enhance seizure length and efficacy in resistant patients.
