Trial Outcomes

Change in MADRS Score

Scoring of depressive symptoms on the Montgomery Asberg Depression Rating Scale, maximum 60 , minimum 0. Higher scores mean worse outcome. First measurement on day 1 of electroconvulsive treatment (ECT) and second measurement on day 2 of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), separated by 1 day interval. This outcome measure was not measured at baseline. (NCT03126682)
Timeframe: Scored on day 1 and day 2 after ECT session

InterventionScored on a scale (Mean)
Wellbutrin During ECT 12.60
Wellbutrin During ECT 23.60

Change in Seizure Duration

Duration of seizures with ECT. First measurement on day 1 of electroconvulsive treatment (ECT) and second measurement on day 2 of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), separated by 1 day interval. This outcome measure was not measured at baseline. (NCT03126682)
