电休克疗法(ECT)被广泛接受为严重抑郁症的治疗方法,但很少用于治疗慢性疼痛,即使慢性疼痛和抑郁症经常同时发生。这项研究提出了一个案例,其中ECT缓解严重抑郁症和慢性疼痛。看来,抑郁症的认识值得更多的关注,ECT作为一种治疗慢性疼痛的严重抑郁症患者应考虑在其他治疗失败的情况下。
Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is widely accepted as a treatment for severe depression, but is seldom used in the treatment of chronic pain even though chronic pain and depression frequently occur together. This study presents a case in which ECT relieved both severe depression and chronic pain. It seems that the recognition of depressive disorders merits more attention and that ECT as a treatment for chronic pain in patients with severe depression should be taken into consideration in cases in which other treatments have failed.
