Efficacy and influencing factors of modified electroconvulsive therapy for schizophrenia: a real-world retrospective observational study
MECT remains a clinically valuable intervention for SCZ, particularly in younger, first-episode patients with prominent positive symptoms. Treatment efficacy is influenced by age, illness duration, baseline symptom severity, and seizure quality. These findings support the need for personalised MECT protocols guided by clinical and electrophysiological characteristics.
