Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Montgomery and Ă…sberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS)

    The MADRS is a 10-item rating scale designed to assess the severity of the symptoms in depressive illness and to be sensitive to treatment effects. Symptoms are rated on a 7-point scale from 0 (no symptom) to 6 (severe symptom). Definitions of severity are provided at 2-point intervals. The total score of the 10 items ranges from 0 to 60.

    Baseline to 8 weeks

Secondary Outcomes (8)

  • MADRS

    From baseline to Week 8

  • Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS)

    Mean change from baseline to Week 8

  • Insomnia Severity Index (ISI)

    Mean change from baseline to Week 8

  • Sheehan Disability Scale (SDS): Family Subscale

    Mean change from baseline to Week 8

  • SDS: Work Subscale

  • +3 more secondary outcomes
