citalopram and Attention Deficit and Disruptive Behavioral Disorders

citalopram has been researched along with Attention Deficit and Disruptive Behavioral Disorders in 3 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.

Trial Outcomes

"Percentage of Participants That Much Improved (Score of 2) in, or Completely Recovered (Score of 1) From Their Irritability Severity, as Measured With the Clinical Global Impression-Improvement (CGI-I)."

"A measure of change of irritability severity taking the baseline before randomization as a reference. Scores range 1 to 8, in which 1=Completely recovered,... 5=Unchanged,... 8=Much worse.~Percentage of participants who responded are based on an estimation and might not match exactly with discrete numbers of participants based on the denominator." (NCT00794040)
Timeframe: Collected weekly during the 8-week trial. The 8th-week outcome is reported.

Anxiety Symptoms at 8th Week of Trial

Difference in anxiety symptoms at 8th week of trial as measured with the Pediatric Anxiety Rating Scale (PARS) with scores ranging 0-25. Higher values represent a worse outcome. (NCT00794040)
