Depression is a substantial clinical problem for which ECT is the most efficacious treatment. However, ECT has cognitive side-effects which limit its applicability and acceptance by patients. The development of a new treatment with similar efficacy but which minimizes these side effects would have great clinical value. One promising possibility is magnetic seizure therapy (MST). This project will investigate the neurological outcomes of MST in depression, focusing on the cognitive outcomes.

抑郁症是一个重要的临床问题，ECT是最有效的治疗方法。然而，ECT具有认知副作用，这限制了其适用性和患者的接受度。开发一种具有类似疗效但最大限度地减少这些副作用的新治疗方法将具有很大的临床价值。一个有希望的可能性是磁癫痫治疗（MST）。本研究将探讨MST治疗抑郁症的神经学结果，重点是认知结果。
