citalopram and Abdominal Pain

citalopram has been researched along with Abdominal Pain in 5 studies

Citalopram: A furancarbonitrile that is one of the serotonin uptake inhibitors used as an antidepressant. The drug is also effective in reducing ethanol uptake in alcoholics and is used in depressed patients who also suffer from TARDIVE DYSKINESIA in preference to tricyclic antidepressants, which aggravate dyskinesia.
citalopram : A racemate comprising equimolar amounts of (R)-citalopram and its enantiomer, escitalopram. It is used as an antidepressant, although only escitalopram is active.
1-[3-(dimethylamino)propyl]-1-(4-fluorophenyl)-1,3-dihydro-2-benzofuran-5-carbonitrile : A nitrile that is 1,3-dihydro-2-benzofuran-5-carbonitrile in which one of the hydrogens at position 1 is replaced by a p-fluorophenyl group, while the other is replaced by a 3-(dimethylamino)propyl group.

Abdominal Pain: Sensation of discomfort, distress, or agony in the abdominal region.

Trial Overview

Trial Outcomes

Abdominal Pain Index (API)

The API is a well-validated and reliable measure of abdominal pain assessing the frequency, duration, and intensity of abdominal pain consisting of five items assessing the frequency, duration, and intensity of abdominal pain experienced during the prior 2 weeks. Two of the items are scored from 0 to 5, one is scaled 0 to 8, and two are scaled 0 to 10, with lower scores considered to be better than higher scores. Item scores are standardized using Z-scores and then summed to yield an index of abdominal pain that has been sensitive to change in previous epidemiological and treatment studies of FAP. Alpha reliability ranged from 0.80 to 0.93. The API will be a continuous primary outcome measure of abdominal pain. (NCT00962039)
Timeframe: Weeks 0, 2, 4, and 8

Children's Depression Rating Scale - Revised (CDRS-R)

Children's Depression Rating Scale - Revised (CDRS-R) is a clinician administered measure of depression in children and adolescents and provides data necessary to diagnose depressive disorder and rate the severity of depressive symptoms over time. The CDRS-R is composed of 17 items, most rated on a 1 to 7 scale, with a minimum score of 17 and a maximum of 113. Higher scores reflect greater depression severity, with scores of 40 and above generally considered to be reflective of a depressive diagnosis. (NCT00962039)
Timeframe: Weeks 0, 2, 4, and 8

Children's Global Assessment Scale (C-GAS)

Children's Global Assessment Scale (C-GAS) is an interview-based adaptation of the Global Assessment Scale developed to assess child and adolescent functioning during a specified time period. Scores range from one to 100, with scores of 70 or below reflecting abnormally low functioning and higher scores reflecting better functioning. The C-GAS has demonstrated reliability, as well as discriminant and concurrent validity. A CGAS score of < 70 will be a requirement at study entry. (NCT00962039)
Timeframe: Weeks 0, 2, 4, and 8

Clinical Global Impression Scale - Improvement (CGI-I) Will be Used to Assess Overall Global Illness Improvement. CGI-I Scores of 1 (Very Much Improved) or 2 (Much Improved) Indicate an Acceptable Treatment Response.

Clinical Global Impression Scale - Improvement (CGI-I) is a 7-point scale, with lower values being more favorable, used to assess overall global illness improvement. The CGI is a clinician-completed measure, with values ranging from 1 (very much improved), 2 (much improved), 3 (minimally improved), 4 (no change), 5 (minimally worse), 6 (much worse), to 7 (very much worse). CGI-I scores of 1 (very much improved) or 2 (much improved) were considered to indicate an acceptable treatment response. A global measure of functional status was chosen as a primary outcome due to the broad array of symptomatology seen in pediatric RAP and the ambiguous relationship between functional status and symptoms of pain, anxiety, and depression in pediatric RAP. The CGI-I is a dichotomous primary outcome measure of global clinical improvement with clinical response be defined as a CGI-I score of 1 or 2 for at least two consecutive weeks. (NCT00962039)
Timeframe: The CGI will be completed at weeks 2, 4, and 8

Clinical Global Impression Scale - Severity (CGI-S)

Clinical Global Impression Scale - Severity (CGI-S) is a 7-point scale is a clinician-completed measure that requires the clinician to rate the severity of the patient's illness at the time of assessment relative to the clinician's past experience with patients who have the same diagnosis. Considering total clinical experience, a patient is assessed on severity of illness at the time of rating, with values ranging from 1 (normal, not at all ill), 2 (borderline ill), 3 (mildly ill), 4 (moderately ill), 5 (markedly ill), 6 (severely ill), to 7 (extremely ill). (NCT00962039)
Timeframe: Weeks 0, 2, 4, and 8

Pediatric Anxiety Rating Scale (PARS)

Pediatric Anxiety Rating Scale (PARS) is a clinician administered measure of anxiety in children and adolescents. The PARS is comprised of a 50-item symptom checklist used to determine the presence or absence of specific anxiety symptoms during the prior week and 7 severity/impairment items, each scored from 0 to 5 . The the score on the 7 items allows the clinician to rate symptom severity and associated impairment on a range from 0 to 35, with higher scores reflecting greater symptom severity and associated impairment. The PARS is characterized by high interrater reliability (ICC = 0.97), adequate internal consistency (α = 0.64), and fair test-retest reliability (ICC = 0.55). There is preliminary support for convergent and divergent validity, and the PARS has demonstrated sensitivity to treatment effects in previously conducted clinical trials. (NCT00962039)
Timeframe: Weeks 0, 2, 4, and 8
