Metabolomics During ElectroConvulsivoTherapy
Investigators will measure the variation of blood Metabolome through 1H NMR at several time points during the course of electroconvulsivetherapy in patients with a major depressive episode. Patients with a major depressive disorder or a bipolar disorder and a current major depressive episode will be included in this study. Investigators hypothesized that Metabolome could be a source to predict response during ECT and to help understanding underlying biological mechanisms.
Conditions studied
Major Depressive Episode, ECT
About this study
Investigators will measure the variation of blood Metabolome through 1H NMR at several time points during the course of electroconvulsivetherapy in patients with a major depressive episode. Patients with a major depressive disorder or a bipolar disorder and a current major depressive episode will be included in this study. Investigators hypothesized that Metabolome could be a source to predict response during ECT and to help understanding underlying biological mechanisms.
Interventions
- Other: Electroconvulsive therapy — Electroconvulsive therapy is administered through electrodes positioned bilaterally (bitemporal) or unilaterally (or fronto-temporal) on the frontotemporal region under anesthesia. The stimulation dose is determined by titration method, during the first ECT session. An ECT cure corresponding from 12 to 20 sessions of ECT. Patients will receive 2 sessions a week. Blood samples will be done during the anesthesia process.
Primary outcomes
- Value the metabolic profile difference between the baseline and before the 6th session of ECT by blood metabolomics through 1HNMR (up to 3 weeks)
