With this ZonMw grant, the clinical scientists analyze and advance electroconvulsive therapy for people suffering from depression. The consortium is a good representation of a large national collaboration with eight different institutes on board.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading112_c02559-58, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading112_c02559-58[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading112_c02559-58\"]{font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading112_c02559-58 mark, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading112_c02559-58[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading112_c02559-58\"] mark{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}<\/style>\n<h4 class=\"kt-adv-heading112_c02559-58 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading112_c02559-58\">Low application in the Netherlands<\/h4>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading112_48baea-df, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading112_48baea-df[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading112_48baea-df\"]{font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading112_48baea-df mark, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading112_48baea-df[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading112_48baea-df\"] mark{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}<\/style>\n<p class=\"kt-adv-heading112_48baea-df wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading112_48baea-df\">Depression, especially when complicated by severe symptoms and chronicity, puts a great burden on patients, their relatives and society. Brain stimulation with electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is a safe and effective treatment for depressive episodes, even when psychotherapeutic and psychopharmacological interventions have failed. However, the use of ECT is surprisingly low in the Netherlands. This might be due to (1) limited knowledge on the optimal position in the treatment algorithm, (2) lack of knowledge on cost-effectiveness, (3) fear for side-effects and the outdated representation of ECT. The Precision Electroconvulsive Therapy Consortium wants to fill these knowledge gaps.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading112_29f7b0-b4, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading112_29f7b0-b4[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading112_29f7b0-b4\"]{font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading112_29f7b0-b4 mark, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading112_29f7b0-b4[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading112_29f7b0-b4\"] mark{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}<\/style>\n<h4 class=\"kt-adv-heading112_29f7b0-b4 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading112_29f7b0-b4\">Online decision-making tool for patients<\/h4>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading112_184be4-14, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading112_184be4-14[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading112_184be4-14\"]{font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading112_184be4-14 mark, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading112_184be4-14[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading112_184be4-14\"] mark{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}<\/style>\n<p class=\"kt-adv-heading112_184be4-14 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading112_184be4-14\">The ZonMw grant makes it possible to analyze (cost-) effectiveness and side-effects of ECT and compare it to treatment with antidepressants in merged clinical and research cohorts. A prospective study comparing ECT with medication on outcome and costs will add in-depth details to the first step. Together with patients, relatives and referrers, an informative, needs-based, website on ECT with a personalized decision-making tool will be designed. The overall aim is to reduce stigma around ECT and increase knowledge of (cost-) effectiveness and safety of ECT.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading112_99b299-ed, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading112_99b299-ed[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading112_99b299-ed\"]{font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading112_99b299-ed mark, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading112_99b299-ed[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading112_99b299-ed\"] mark{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}<\/style>\n<h4 class=\"kt-adv-heading112_99b299-ed wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading112_99b299-ed\">PET Consortium<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"227\" height=\"227\" src=\"https:\/\/dutchectconsortium.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/PET-consortium-e1676994091346.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-54\" style=\"width:404px;height:404px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dutchectconsortium.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/PET-consortium-e1676994091346.png 227w, https:\/\/dutchectconsortium.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/PET-consortium-e1676994091346-150x150.png 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 227px) 100vw, 227px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Precision Electroconvulsive Therapy Consortium<br>From left to right, top to bottom: Annemiek Dols (main applicant), GGZinGeest and Amsterdam UMC \u2013 Philip van Eijndhoven (project leader), RadboudUMC \u2013 Indira Tendolkar, RadboudUMC \u2013 Harm Pieters Spaans, Parnassia \u2013 Ben Wijnen, Trimbos \u2013 Metten Somers, UMC Utrecht \u2013 Jeroen van Waarde, Rijnstate \u2013 Esm\u00e9e Verwijk, University of Amsterdam \u2013 Bart Schut, Depression Union.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Depression, especially when complicated by severe symptoms and chronicity, puts a great burden on patients, their relatives and society.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":464,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":true,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[8],"class_list":["post-112","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-blog-1"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dutchectconsortium.nl\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/112","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dutchectconsortium.nl\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dutchectconsortium.nl\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dutchectconsortium.nl\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dutchectconsortium.nl\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=112"}],"version-history":[{"count":13,"href":"https:\/\/dutchectconsortium.nl\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/112\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":465,"href":"https:\/\/dutchectconsortium.nl\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/112\/revisions\/465"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dutchectconsortium.nl\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/464"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dutchectconsortium.nl\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=112"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dutchectconsortium.nl\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=112"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dutchectconsortium.nl\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=112"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
