Optimal Treatment of Magnetic Seizure Therapy (MST) in Patients with Clozapine-Resistant Schizophrenia (CRS)
In this pilot study, MST and MECT equally improved positive symptoms of CRS, while MST was more effective in relieving negative symptoms. Evidence showed negligible cognitive side effects in MST, with less adverse effect on immediate memory than MECT. As a promising alternative to MECT, MST requires further research in larger clinical population.
