摘要:
In a double-blind crossover study, 12 depressed inpatients receiving bilateral electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) were given 22.5 mg oxazepam or placebo (identical tablets, randomized order) the night before treatment. Seizure duration was measured using the cuff method and a total of 20 pairs of measurements were made. Mean duration after oxazepam administration was 0.9 s longer than after placebo; this difference was not statistically significant. The relevant lower one-sided 95% confidence limit was −4.1 s. Single administration of oxazepam, 22.5 mg, has little average effect on seizure duration in ECT.
