CA 2568083
The invention provides a method for treating a patient for mental illnesses, such as depression, by applying a magnetic field to the patient, producing a seizure in the patient as a function of a strength of the magnetic field, and preventing further stimulation from the magnetic field when the seizure is in progress. Such Magnetic Seizure Therapy (MST) does not include many of the known side effects of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT).
La présente invention se rapporte à une méthode permettant de traiter un patient pour une maladie mentale, telle que la dépression. Les méthodes selon l'invention consistent à appliquer un champ magnétique au patient, à produire chez ce dernier une crise convulsive dont la force est fonction de l'intensité du champ magnétique, et à empêcher toute stimulation supplémentaire provenant du champ magnétique pendant la crise convulsive. Une telle thérapie convulsive magnétique (MST) permet d'éviter un grand nombre des effets secondaires de la thérapie électroconvulsive (ECT).
