Abstract

The safety of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) in patients with deep brain stimulation (DBS) has not been established. Cases reported had no adverse events, but DBS was withheld throughout the weeks of the ECT course. The authors report the first case of temporary interruption of DBS only during the minutes of each outpatient ECT.
