Clinical Trial Summary

To compare the correlation between the clinical efficacy of MECT treatment and baseline, 3 times, 8 times of treatment, 1 week after treatment, and 2 weeks after treatment in patients with depression and suicidal ideation. The prediction effect of -1β and IL-6 levels and level changes on the efficacy of MECT in the treatment of suicidal ideation in elderly patients with depression, and provide a theoretical basis for further research on the mechanism of MECT in the treatment of elderly depression with suicidal ideation.

Description:

Late-life depression is a common mental disorder, old age 40-70% of the patients with suicide ideation, modified electroconvulsive therapy can quickly improve part in elderly patients with depression commit suicide idea, but curative effect exist individual differences, looking for MECT treatment of elderly patients with depression, early predictors of treatment plan formulation has important clinical significance.A total of 72 elderly patients with depression with suicidal thoughts were included in this project, who were treated with MECT for 8 times. Blood samples, demographic data and clinical symptom assessment data were collected before treatment, 3 times, 8 times, 1 week and 2 weeks after treatment, and the levels of IL-1β and IL-6 were measured at each time point. To analyze the relationship between the levels of IL-1β and IL-6 at baseline and at each time point and the changes of clinical symptoms and suicide concept, and to explore the predictive effect of the levels and changes of IL-1β and IL-6 on the efficacy of MECT in the treatment of suicide concept in elderly patients with depression. To provide a reference for further research on the mechanism of MECT in the treatment of senile depression with suicide.

Intervention

Procedure:
• modified electroconvulsive therapy
The patient underwent MECT therapy. The treatment instrument is Xingmaitong IV ECT multifunctional treatment instrument (USA, SOMATICS THYMATRON company), fasting for 6 hours before surgery, emptying urine. Routine preoperative preparations were made, followed by intravenous injection of atropine, propofol, and succinylcholine chloride injection, artificial respiration, placement of dental pads, and electroconvulsive therapy. The whole process is completed by an anesthesiologist and a therapist in cooperation with each other. The first 3 times are once a day, and the next 5 times are once every other day. A total of 8 courses of treatment.

Primary	Change level of IL-6 compared with baseline at the end of MECT treatment.	Serum IL-6 levels were measured at baseline, 3 times of treatment, 8 times of treatment, 1 week of treatment and 2 weeks of treatment.
