citalopram and Frigidity

citalopram has been researched along with Frigidity in 30 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

Change From Baseline in the Changes in Sexual Functioning Questionnaire Short-Form (CSFQ-14) Total Score at Week 8

The CSFQ-14 is a structured self reported questionnaire designed to measure illness- and medication-related changes in sexual functioning consisting of 14 items that measure sexual functioning as a total score (14 items) and on the subscales of pleasure (1 item), desire/frequency (2 items), desire/interest (3 items), arousal (3 items), and orgasm (3 items), rated on an 5 point scale from 1 to 5 with a total score range from 14 to 70. Higher scores reflect higher sexual functioning. A positive change from Baseline indicates that symptoms have improved. The primary analysis was based on a mixed model for repeated measurements (MMRM) analysis of covariance with treatment, center, week, treatment-by-week interaction as fixed effects, Baseline CSFQ-14 total score-by-week as covariate, and a completely unstructured covariance matrix.

Number of Participants With Shifts in the CSFQ-14 From Abnormal to Normal at Each Week Assessed

The CSFQ-14 is a structured self reported questionnaire designed to measure illness- and medication-related changes in sexual functioning consisting of 14 items that measure sexual functioning as a total score (14 items) and on the subscales of pleasure (1 item), desire/frequency (2 items), desire/interest (3 items), arousal (3 items), and orgasm (3 items), rated on an 5 point scale from 1 to 5 with a total score range from 14 to 70. Higher scores reflect higher sexual functioning. Normal sexual functioning is defined as a CSFQ-14 total score of >41 for women and >47 for men. Abnormal sexual functioning is defined as a CSFQ-14 total score of ≤41 for women and ≤47 for men. All subjects entered the study with abnormal sexual functioning. A shift to normal indicates that symptoms have improved. (NCT01364649)

Change From Baseline in the Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) Total Score at Week 10

The MADRS is a clinician-rated scale based on participant interviews. The scale assesses depressive symptomatology that occurred in participants during the week preceding each interview. Participants were rated on 10 items: Apparent sadness, reported sadness, inner tension, reduced sleep, reduced appetite, concentration difficulties, lassitude, inability to feel, pessimistic thoughts, and suicidal thoughts. Each item was scored on a 7-point scale from 0 (no symptoms) to 6 (symptoms of maximum severity). The total score was the sum of the scores of the 10 items and ranged from 0 to 60. A higher score indicates more depressive symptomatology. A negative change score indicates improvement. (NCT01473381)

Change From Baseline to Week 10 in the Clinical Global Impressions-Severity (CGI-S) Scale Score

"The Clinical Global Impressions-Severity scale is a clinician-rated scale used to rate the severity of the participant's current state of mental illness compared with a patient population with major depressive disorder. In particular, the clinician is asked to respond to the following question: Considering your total clinical experience with this population, how mentally ill is the patient at this time? The patient is rated on the following 7-point scale: 1-normal, not at all ill, 2-borderline ill, 3-mildly ill, 4-moderately ill, 5-markedly ill, 6-severely ill, 7-among the most extremely ill patients. A higher score indicates more mental illness. A negative change score indicates improvement." (NCT01473381)

Percentage of Participants With a Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) Sustained Response

The MADRS is a clinician-rated scale based on participant interviews. The scale assesses depressive symptomatology that occurred in participants during the week preceding each interview. Participants were rated on 10 items: Apparent sadness, reported sadness, inner tension, reduced sleep, reduced appetite, concentration difficulties, lassitude, inability to feel, pessimistic thoughts, and suicidal thoughts. Each item was scored on a 7-point scale from 0 (no symptoms) to 6 (symptoms of maximum severity). The total score was the sum of the scores of the 10 items and ranged from 0 to 60. A higher score indicates more depressive symptomatology. A MADRS sustained response was defined as a MADRS total score ≤ 12 for at least the last 2 visits during the double-blind treatment period (Weeks 1-10). A total MADRS score ≤ 12 corresponds to an average score of 1 per item and is indicative of very low level of depressive symptoms. (NCT01473381)
