[Abstract] Objective To study and explore the effects of Modified Electra convulsive Therapy (MECT) on memory, cognitive function and EEG status in schizophrenic patients.Methods A total of 100 schizophrenic patients admitted to our hospital from May 2012 to October 2017 were selected as the research objects. They were divided into observation group and control group according to the random number table method, 50 cases in each group. The control group was treated with routine drugs, while the observation group was treated with modified electra convulsive therapy on the basis of the control group. The therapeutic effect, memory, cognitive function and electroencephalogram of the two groups were observed.Results By comparison, the total effective rate of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group (P＜0.05); the scores of MMSE and MoCA in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P＜0.05); the WMS scores in the observation group were higher than those in the control group (P＜0.05). The patients in the observation group also had less abnormal EEG, and the difference was statistically significant (P＜0.05).ConclusionModified electra convulsive therapy has a very significant effect on schizophrenia patients, and can effectively improve the memory, cognitive function and EEG status of patients, which is worthy of clinical application and promotion.
