They're currently recruiting for a clinical trial of Low-Field Magnetic Stimulation (LFMS) for treatment-resistant depression. One of the test sites is Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. In early clinical trials, LFMS appears to be superior to TMS. If your ECT was for your current episode of depression, it would disqualify you.
