Can electroconvulsive therapy be used on patients with Syndrome?

No, electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) should not be used on patients with neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS). NMS is a potentially life-threatening condition that can occur in people who take certain medications for psychosis, such as antipsychotics. ECT is a treatment for severe mental illness that involves passing electrical currents through the brain. It can be an effective treatment for some conditions, but it can also have serious side effects. NMS can cause a number of symptoms, including high fever, muscle rigidity, confusion, and seizures. ECT can worsen these symptoms and even lead to death. Therefore, ECT should not be used in patients with NMS.
