Structured PICO

Does modified electroplexy differ from unmodified electroplexy in outcomes for patients with depressive illness?

P
Population
Patients suffering from depressive illness
I
Intervention
Modified electroplexy (E.C.T. with an anaesthetic or relaxant drug)
C
Comparator
Unmodified (straight) electroplexy
O
Outcome
Difference between the results of modified and unmodified electroplexy (including length of hospital stay, number of treatments, and likelihood of remaining well)
