Trial Outcomes

Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS)

The MADRS is a measure of depression severity examined on a weekly basis. The minimum score on the 10 item scale is 0 indicating no depression. The maximum score is 60 indicating a very severe depression. Scores of 18 and above are generally considered to suggest significant levels of depression. (NCT00113022)
Timeframe: 8 weeks
