Evaluating cognitive assessment tools for patients with major depressive disorder receiving electroconvulsive therapy: A systematic review and meta-analysis. Asian J Psychiatr 2024; 100:104169. [PMID: 39153315 DOI: 10.1016/j.ajp.2024.104169] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/28/2024] [Revised: 07/21/2024] [Accepted: 07/22/2024] [Indexed: 08/19/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) affects 350 million people worldwide. Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is effective, yet research on cognitive assessments post-treatment is lacking. This study systematically reviews and meta-analyzes the effectiveness of cognitive assessment tools post-ECT to optimize MDD treatment. METHODS Following PRISMA guidelines, this review was pre-registered on PROSPERO (CRD42023470318). Searches were conducted across nine databases up to November 12, 2023. Quality assessment for Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs) and quasi-experimental studies was performed using the Cochrane risk of bias tool, JBI critical appraisal tools, and the Jadad scale. Meta-analyses for short-term and long-term cognitive function involved 24 and 18 tools, respectively. FINDINGS Thirty studies (20 RCTs and 10 quasi-experimental) involving 2462 MDD patients were evaluated. Results indicated no significant differences in overall short-term and long-term cognitive functions post-ECT. Short-term analysis showed impairments in memory, learning, and verbal abilities but improvements in attention and processing speed. Long-term analysis revealed enhancements in memory, learning, verbal, and visuospatial abilities compared to baseline. Based on GRADE classification, we recommend 11 tools for assessing acute cognitive function and 10 tools for chronic cognitive impairment. These tools demonstrated high reliability and validity, supporting their clinical use. INTERPRETATION These findings provide critical evidence for future ECT clinical guidelines in managing MDD. The recommended tools can aid clinicians in adjusting ECT regimens, identifying early cognitive changes, and improving therapeutic outcomes in MDD treatment.

Efficacy and safety of transcranial magnetic stimulation on cognition in mild cognitive impairment, Alzheimer's disease, Alzheimer's disease-related dementias, and other cognitive disorders: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Int Psychogeriatr 2024:1-49.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We aim to analyze the efficacy and safety of TMS on cognition in mild cognitive impairment (MCI), Alzheimer's disease (AD), AD-related dementias, and nondementia conditions with comorbid cognitive impairment. DESIGN Systematic review, Meta-Analysis. SETTING We searched MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane database, APA PsycINFO, Web of Science, and Scopus from January 1, 2000, to February 9, 2023. PARTICIPANTS AND INTERVENTIONS RCTs, open-label, and case series studies reporting cognitive outcomes following TMS intervention were included. MEASUREMENT Cognitive and safety outcomes were measured. Cochrane Risk of Bias for RCTs and MINORS (Methodological Index for Non-Randomized Studies) criteria were used to evaluate study quality. This study was registered with PROSPERO (CRD42022326423). RESULTS The systematic review included 143 studies (n = 5,800 participants) worldwide, encompassing 94 RCTs, 43 open-label prospective, 3 open-label retrospective, and 3 case series. The meta-analysis included 25 RCTs in MCI and AD. Collectively, these studies provide evidence of improved global and specific cognitive measures with TMS across diagnostic groups. Only 2 studies (among 143) reported 4 adverse events of seizures: 3 were deemed TMS unrelated and another resolved with coil repositioning. Meta-analysis showed large effect sizes on global cognition (Mini-Mental State Examination (SMD = 0.80 [0.26, 1.33], p = 0.003), Montreal Cognitive Assessment (SMD = 0.85 [0.26, 1.44], p = 0.005), Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale-Cognitive Subscale (SMD = -0.96 [-1.32, -0.60], p < 0.001)) in MCI and AD, although with significant heterogeneity. CONCLUSION The reviewed studies provide favorable evidence of improved cognition with TMS across all groups with cognitive impairment. TMS was safe and well tolerated with infrequent serious adverse events.

Abstract
BACKGROUND despite years of development, response to neurostimulation remains partial and variable. Combining techniques could improve clinical efficacy and tolerance. OBJECTIVE to examine the literature on the effects of combining several neurostimulation techniques in patients with mental disorders. METHODS this systematic review follows the PRISMA guidelines RESULTS: 23 studies were included. The most studied combination was electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) along with another neurostimulation technique in depression. The RCTs that showed a significant effect targeted the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex with high-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation, before ECT. Combining neurostimulation techniques is a promising field of research.

High-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation alleviates the cognitive side effects of electroconvulsive therapy in major depression. Front Psychiatry 2022; 13:1002809. [PMID: 36262627 PMCID: PMC9575950 DOI: 10.3389/fpsyt.2022.1002809] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/25/2022] [Accepted: 09/12/2022] [Indexed: 11/21/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The retrospective study aimed to explore the difference in mood outcomes and cognitive function between high-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (HF-rTMS) over dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) and electroconvulsive therapy in major depression disorder (MDD) patients and to examine the improvement of HF-rTMS on cognitive impairment evoked by electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 116 participants with MDD, who completed a 4-week follow-up assessment, were enrolled. The cohort consisted of 26 cases classed as control, 46 participants administrated with HF-rTMS (HF-rTMS group), 22 patients treated with ECT (ECT group), and 23 cases treated with HF-rTMS and ECT at the course of hospitalization (HF-rTMS + ECT group). Medication was kept constant as well in all participants. The 17-item Hamilton Depression Rating Scale for Depression (HAMD-17) and 14-item Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAMA-14) were used to assess depression and anxiety, respectively. Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) was to elevate cognitive function. RESULTS No statistical significance was found for baseline in sociodemographic, characteristics of depression, anxiety and cognition, and psychopharmaceutic dosages among control, HF-rTMS, ECT, and HF-rTMS + ECT groups (p > 0.05). Compared with baseline level, total scores of HAMD-17 and HAMA-14 significantly decreased at the end of 4 weeks after treatment (p < 0.001). Furthermore, the decline in scores of HAMD-17 and its sleep disorder and retardation factors from baseline to post-treatment was greater in HF-rTMS, ECT, and HF-rTMS + ECT group than in control (p < 0.05), and there was a significant difference between control and HF-rTMS group in the decline of psychological factor of HAMA-14 (p < 0.01). ECT treatment evoked total score of MoCA to decrease significantly at the end of 4-week after intervention (p < 0.001), and the decline in scores of MoCA and its delayed recall and language performances from baseline to post-treatment was greater in ECT than control, HF-rTMS, and HF-rTMS + ECT (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION High-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation improved psychological anxiety and ameliorated the cognition impairment evoked by ECT though it had the same anti-depressant efficacy as ECT.
