Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is regarded as one of the most effective treatments for major depressive disorder but has also been associated with cognitive deficits possibly reflecting brain damage. The aim of this study was therefore to evaluate whether ECT induces cerebral damage as reflected by different biochemical measures. The concentrations in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of three established markers of neuronal/glial degeneration, tau protein (tau), neurofilament (NFL) and S-100 beta protein, were determined in nine patients who fulfilled DSM-IV criteria for major depression. CSF samples were collected before and after a course of six ECT sessions. The CSF/serum (S) albumin ratio reflecting potential blood-brain barrier (BBB) dysfunction was also determined at these time points. The treatment was clinically successful with a significant decline of depressive symptoms in all patients as assessed by the Montgomery-Åsberg Rating Scale for Depression. Several patients had signs of BBB dysfunction and/or neuronal damage before the start of treatment. Levels of CSF-tau, CSF-NFL and CSF-S-100 beta levels were not significantly changed by ECT. Also the CSF/S albumin ratio was found to be unchanged after the course of ECT. In conclusion, no biochemical evidence of neuronal/glial damage or BBB dysfunction could be demonstrated following a therapeutic course of ECT.
