Ect-chlorpromazine combination compared with chlorpromazine only in schizophrenia.

Forty-four hospitalized schizophrenic patients, 22 in each of two groups, were treated for a period of 6 weeks with either EGT-GPZ combination or CPZ alone. Ratings on RP scale (Rockland and Pollin, 1S65) showed that the KGT-receiving group was significantly better en several measure at second week and also had an earlier onset of beneficial response on "Affect and Mood." However, at the end of 6 weeks, these differences disappeared and on clinical Global Impression of Improvement the two groups did not differ significantly. The implications are discussed.
