Abstract
Objective: To investigate the efficacy of modified electroconvulsive therapy (MECT) combined with escitalopram in the treatment of major depressive disorder (MDD) and its influence on serum levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), interferon-γ (IFN-γ), and interleukin-4 (IL-4). Methods: A total of 80 patients with MDD were randomly divided into a control group (n=40) and an observation group (n=40). The control group was treated with escitalopram orally, and the observation group was treated with MECT combined with escitalopram. Both groups were treated for 4 weeks. Before and after the treatment, Hamilton Depression Scale-17 (HAMD-17) scores, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) scores, and serum 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), BDNF, IFN-γ, and IL-4 were measured. The efficacy and safety of the 2 groups were compared. Results: Compared with the control group, the total effective rate of the observation group (94.74%) was increased, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). After the treatment, HAMD-17 and PSQI scores in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group (both P<0.05); the levels of serum 5-HT, BDNF, and IL-4 in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group (all P<0.05), and the levels of IFN-γ and the ratio of IFN-γ/IL-4 (Th1/Th2) were significantly lower than those in the control group (both P<0.05). There was no significant difference in adverse reactions between the 2 groups (P<0.05). Conclusion: MECT combined with escitalopram in the treatment of MDD can improve the efficacy, and increase BDNF expression and regulate immunity.
