A Statistical Investigation
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 08 February 2018
Extract
Epileptic manifestations complicating insulin coma therapy (I.C.T.) were described by Sakel in his original paper (1937). In recent years the administration of chlorpromazine to patients undergoing I.C.T. has been common practice. Lancaster and Jones (1954), however, have commented on the resulting apparent increase in the incidence of epileptic fits.
