Trial Outcomes

MADRS Score - Baseline

Antidepressant effects were assessed using the Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS). It is a ten-item diagnostic questionnaire which psychiatrists use to measure the severity of depressive episodes. Higher MADRS score indicates more severe depression, and each item yields a score of 0 to 6. The overall score ranges from 0 to 60. (NCT00088699)
