    What is the difference between Regular ECT and Modified ECT?
    Question

    What is the difference between Regular ECT and Modified ECT?

    A.

    Low Volt shock is provided

    B.

    Anesthesia is given

    C.

    Muscle relaxant is given

    D.

    None of the above

    Correct option is B

    Explanation:

    The key difference between Regular (Unmodified) ECT and Modified ECT is the use of general anesthesia (along with a muscle relaxant) in modified ECT.

    • Regular ECT: Given without anesthesia or muscle relaxants, which can cause strong muscle contractions and higher risk of injury.

    • Modified ECT: Given under short-acting general anesthesia and muscle relaxants, making the procedure safer, more comfortable, and minimizing physical complications.

    Hence, the most appropriate single best answer is anesthesia is given.
