■在20世纪初,心理外科在治疗精神病患者方面已经在世界范围内普及,尤其是在西方国家。我们试图记录它在迈索尔政府精神病院(MGMH)的旅程,现在是国家心理健康和神经科学研究所(NIMHANS),班加罗尔.
■审查了1939年至1947年收治的患者的存档病例记录和登记册,以确定接受过心理手术的患者。对已确定患者的病例记录进行临床信息评估,包括心理外科的细节.
■在患者中,107人接受了心理手术,主要是白骨切开术。精神分裂症(51.5%)是其中最常见的诊断,所有患者中有33.7%报告改善.然而,发现改善的存在和程度不一致。可能的副作用没有一致的记录。
■精神外科在西方世界引入后不久就被MGMH采用。然而,在当前的研究中,人们注意到了对其收益和风险的歧义。
UNASSIGNED: In the early 20th century,
psychosurgery had gained worldwide popularity for treating mentally ill persons, especially in western countries. We attempt to chronicle its journey in the Mysore Government Mental Hospital (MGMH), now the National Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences (NIMHANS), Bengaluru.
UNASSIGNED: Archived case records and registers of patients admitted from 1939 to 1947 were reviewed to identify those who had undergone
psychosurgery. Case records of the identified patients were assessed for clinical information, including the details of
psychosurgery.
UNASSIGNED: Among the patients, 107 had undergone
psychosurgery, primarily leucotomy. Schizophrenia (51.5%) was the most common diagnosis in them, and 33.7% of all patients were reported to have improved. Yet, inconsistencies were found about the presence and degree of improvement. Possible side effects were not consistently documented.
UNASSIGNED: Psychosurgery was adopted at the MGMH very soon following its introduction in the western world. However, ambiguity about its benefits and risks was noted in the current study.
