Trial Outcomes

Difference in Psychological Outcomes on the Sickness Inventory Profile (SIP)

The sickness inventory profile (SIP) is a behaviorally based measure of health status. Scores range from 0-68 with higher numbers indicating worse outcomes. The study report total SIP score. The higher the score the worse the function. (NCT01265056)

Psychological Functioning as Evaluated by the Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI) Between Treatment and Placebo Groups

The Brief Symptom Inventory 18 (BSI 18) is designed with reliability in mind. The BSI 18 assessment gathers patient-reported data to help measure psychological distress and psychiatric disorders in medical and community populations. As the latest in an integrated series of test instruments that include the SCL-90-R®, BSI® (53 questions), and DPRS® instruments, the BSI 18 test offers a more effective, easy-to-administer tool to help support clinical decision-making and monitor progress throughout treatment. BSI-18 measures three dimensions with 6 questions a piece (somatization , depression , anxiety) and overall psychological distress scores (Global severity index, GSI). Each of the 18 items range from a score of 0-4; total score ranges from 0-72 with higher scores indicating worse function. The GSI score is calculated as the mean of the three subscales. The study reported the GSI score. Higher score is worse. (NCT01265056)
