Fixed schedules for continuation ECT cannot adapt to early signs of impending relapse. Symptom-Titrated, Algorithm-Based Longitudinal ECT (STABLE) is proposed as a novel patient-focused approach to individualize the ECT schedule. In STABLE, the ECT schedule adapts to symptom fluctuations to prevent over-treatment of those who do not need it, and to re-capture response in those who might have otherwise relapsed with a rigid dosing schedule. Here we back-test STABLE to optimize the algorithm for subsequent testing in a prospective trial.
