citalopram and Alzheimer Disease

citalopram has been researched along with Alzheimer Disease in 81 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.

Alzheimer Disease: A degenerative disease of the BRAIN characterized by the insidious onset of DEMENTIA. Impairment of MEMORY, judgment, attention span, and problem solving skills are followed by severe APRAXIAS and a global loss of cognitive abilities. The condition primarily occurs after age 60, and is marked pathologically by severe cortical atrophy and the triad of SENILE PLAQUES; NEUROFIBRILLARY TANGLES; and NEUROPIL THREADS.

Trial Outcomes

Cohen-Mansfield Agitation Inventory (CMAI)

CMAI examines several agitated behaviors including verbal, physical agitation, and other behaviors. Sub-items are summed. Range is 14-70. Higher scores indicate more severe symptoms. (NCT00898807)
Timeframe: 9 weeks

Interventionunits on a scale (Mean)
Citalopram and Psychosocial Intervention27.7
Placebo and Psychosocial Intervention28.7

Modified Alzheimer's Disease Cooperative Study- Clinical Global Impression of Change in Agitation(CGIC)

"Modified Alzheimer's Disease Cooperative Study- Clinical Global Impression of Change in agitation(CGIC) accesses clinically significant change in agitation. A trained clinician, blind to treatment assignment, uses a 7-point Likert scale to rate change of each patient along a continuum from marked improvement(1), no change(4), and marked worsening(7). A number of aspects of the agitation is considered such as emotional agitation, mood liability/distress, psychomotor agitation, verbal aggression, and physical aggression. Range is 1-7." (NCT00898807)
Timeframe: Baseline to 9 weeks

Interventionpercentage moderate/marked improvement (Number)
Citalopram and Psychosocial Intervention40
Placebo and Psychosocial Intervention26

NeuroBehavior Rating Scale-- Agitation

NeuroBehavioral Rating Scale- Agitation(NBRS-A) assesses multiple types of psychopathology common in dementia and is based on a seven point Likert scale of increasing severity for each item(i.e., 0=not present, 1=very mild, 2-mild, 3=moderate, 4=moderately severe, 5=severe, 6=extremely severe). The NBRS agitation subscore includes NBRS 'inhibition', 'agitation', and 'hostility'. The range is 0 to 18 points. Higher scores indicate more symptoms. (NCT00898807)
Timeframe: 9 weeks

Interventionunits on a scale (Mean)
Citalopram and Psychosocial Intervention4.33
Placebo and Psychosocial Intervention5.26

Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI)-- Agitation Subscore

NPI agitation score is based on responses from an informed caregiver involved in the patient's life. Symptom severity (1=mild, 2=moderate, 3=severe) is multiplied by frequency (1=occasionally, less than once/week; 4 = very frequently, once or more/day or continuously) to obtain the NPI agitation score.Range is 0-12. Higher scores indicate more severe symptoms. (NCT00898807)
Timeframe: 9 weeks

Interventionunits on a scale (Mean)
Citalopram and Psychosocial Intervention7.8
Placebo and Psychosocial Intervention8.0
