Abstract

We report a well-defined, although incomplete and transient, improvement in severe tardive dystonia with electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), supporting three similar previous case reports. ECT may be considered for patients with severe disabling tardive dystonia who have failed to respond to pharmacotherapy.
