Electric Shock Therapy and the Mecholyl Test

An attempt was made to determine the efficiency of the mecholyl test as a predictor of EST. The criterion employed was whether the patient improved or did not improve after a course of EST. In general, we found no consistent relationship between grouping as based on the mecholyl test and the criterion of recovery following EST. In our study we were not able to verify the results of Funkenstein. The differences in the two studies might be attributed to many variables that are difficult to control.
