Effect of Bupropion on Seizure Threshold in Depressed Patients
In Brief
A Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating Wellbutrin SR 300Mg Extended-Release Tablet for MDD. Completed, enrolled 10 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of the study is to examine the effect of bupropion on seizure threshold and duration in depressed patients receiving right unilateral ultra-brief electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). The investigators plan to recruit 10 patients into the study, administer sustained release (SR) bupropion 4 hours prior to receiving ECT. The investigators plan to compare the seizure threshold and seizure durations between ECT sessions with and without bupropion administration. The study's implication is to examine how ECT can be optimized by rational combination with medications that lower seizure threshold.
