Trial Outcomes & Findings for ADAPT: Addressing Depression and Pain Together (NCT NCT01124188)

NCT ID: NCT01124188

Last Updated: 2017-05-12

Results Overview

The PHQ-9 depression questionnaire scores range from 0 to 27. The higher the score the more severe the depression. A PHQ-9 score less than or equal to 5 represents absence of depression. The Numeric Rating scale is a self report pain scale ranging from 0 to 20. Higher numbers indicate more pain. Response in this study was defined as two consecutive PHQ-9 scores \< or = to 5 AND Numeric Rating Scale for pain (NRS) \> or = 30% reduction from study entry.

Higher-dose venlafaxine and Problem Solving Therapy for Depression and Pain (PST-DP) Combination Treatment with Higher-dose venlafaxine + PST-DP: Dosing of venlafaxine will range from 187.5-300 mg/day. Medication management and PST-DP will be delivered over the course of 10 sessions over 14 weeks.
Active Control
Higher-dose venlafaxine and supportive management (SM) Higher-dose venlafaxine and supportive management: The dose of venlafaxine will be between 187.5-300 mg/day. It will be offered with supportive management which encourages participants to take the medication and manages any treatment-emergent side effects. Ten sessions will be delivered over the course of 14 weeks.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and 14 weeks

Change in RMDQ from randomization to 14 weeks. The Roland-Morris is a 24-item self-report questionnaire about how low-back pain affects functional activities. Each question is worth one point so scores can range from 0 (no disability) to 24 (severe disability). Improvement of 30% is clinically meaningful

Interval -4.88 to -2.46

Interval -4.35 to -2.05

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and 14 weeks

Change in SPPB scores from randomization to 14 weeks for both arms. The Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) assesses physical performance. The SPPB scores range from 0-12 and assess lower extremity strength, balance, and gait speed, three meaningful predictors of morbidity and mortality in late-life. Lower scores on the SPPB indicates greater limitations. Improvement of 0.5 points indicate clinically meaningful improvement in physical performance
