UNASSIGNED: To compare the effectiveness and cognitive adverse effects of MST and ECT in bipolar mania.
UNASSIGNED: This randomized clinical trial was conducted at the Shanghai Mental Health Center from July 1, 2017, through April 26, 2021. Forty-eight patients with bipolar mania were recruited and randomly allocated to receive MST or ECT. The data analysis was performed from June 5, 2021, through August 30, 2023.
UNASSIGNED: Patients completed 2 or 3 sessions of MST or ECT per week for a total of 8 to 10 sessions. The MST was delivered at 100% device output with a frequency of 75 Hz over the vertex.
UNASSIGNED: The primary outcomes were reduction of total Young Manic Rating Scale (YMRS) score and response rate (more than 50% reduction of the total YMRS score compared with baseline). An intention-to-treat (ITT) analysis and repeated-measures analyses of variance were conducted for the primary outcomes.
UNASSIGNED: Twenty patients in the ECT group (mean [SD] age, 31.6 [8.6] years; 12 male [60.0%]) and 22 patients in the MST group (mean [SD] age, 34.8 [9.8] years; 15 male [68.2%]) were included in the ITT analysis. The response rates were 95.0% (95% CI, 85.4%-100%) in the ECT group and 86.4% (95% CI, 72.1%-100%) in the MST group. The YMRS reduction rate (z = -0.82; 95% CI, -0.05 to 0.10; P = .41) and response rate (χ2 = 0.18; 95% CI, -0.13 to 0.31; P = .67) were not significantly different between the groups. The time-by-group interaction was significant for the language domain (F1,24 = 7.17; P = .01), which was well preserved in patients receiving MST but worsened in patients receiving ECT. No serious adverse effects were reported in either group.
UNASSIGNED: These findings suggest that MST is associated with a high response rate and fewer cognitive impairments in bipolar mania and that it might be an alternative therapy for the treatment of bipolar mania.

■比较MST和ECT在双相躁狂中的有效性和认知不良反应。
■这项随机临床试验于2017年7月1日至2021年4月26日在上海精神卫生中心进行。招募了48例躁郁症躁狂症患者,并随机分配接受MST或ECT。数据分析从2021年6月5日至2023年8月30日进行。
■患者每周完成2或3次MST或ECT,共8至10次。MST在100%装置输出下在顶点上以75Hz的频率递送。
■主要结果是青年躁狂量表(YMRS)总评分和缓解率降低(与基线相比,YMRS总评分降低50%以上)。对主要结局进行了意向治疗(ITT)分析和重复测量方差分析。
■ECT组20名患者(平均[SD]年龄,31.6[8.6]岁;12名男性[60.0%])和MST组22名患者(平均[SD]年龄,34.8[9.8]岁;15名男性[68.2%])被纳入ITT分析。ECT组为95.0%(95%CI,85.4%-100%),MST组为86.4%(95%CI,72.1%-100%)。两组间YMRS降低率(z=-0.82;95%CI,-0.05~0.10;P=0.41)和有效率(χ2=0.18;95%CI,-0.13~0.31;P=0.67)无显著差异。按时间分组的交互在语言领域是显著的(F1,24=7.17;P=0.01),在接受MST的患者中保存完好,但在接受ECT的患者中恶化。两组均无严重不良反应报告。
■这些研究结果表明,MST与双相躁狂症的高反应率和较少的认知障碍相关,它可能是双相躁狂症的替代疗法。
