Trial Outcomes & Findings for Duloxetine in Patients With Suspected Functional Pancreatic/Biliary Pain (Sphincter of Oddi Dysfunction) (NCT NCT00471315)

NCT ID: NCT00471315

Last Updated: 2014-02-06

Results Overview

The primary outcome measure was a Patient Global Assessment of Change (PGIC) scale which reports the patient's overall view of any changes in their overall status since their sphincterotomy treatment. (1=Very much improved, 2=much improved, 3=minimally improved, 4=no change, 5=minimally worse, 6=much worse, 7=very much worse). Success was defined as 3-month PGIC score of much or very much improved (PGIC of either 1 or 2). Patients missing the 3 month visit were considered failures for the primary outcome.
