Trial Outcomes & Findings for Anxiety in Parkinson's: Use of Quantitative Methods to Guide Rational Treatment (NCT NCT02365870)

NCT ID: NCT02365870

Last Updated: 2020-03-31

Results Overview

The main outcome measure for this study was change in anxiety symptom severity over the course of the study. Anxiety severity was measured using the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HARS).The HARS is a 14-item questionnaire, with each item assigned a score ranging from 0 ("not present") to 4 ("severe"). The total score of this scale ranges from 0 to 56, with scores greater than 17 indicating mild severity, scores between 18 and 24 indicating mild to moderate severity and scores greater than 25 indicating moderate to severe severity.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, weeks 2, 4 and 8

The main outcome measure for this study was change in depression symptom severity over the course of the study. Depression severity was measured using the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD). The HAMD is a 17-item questionnaire, with each item assigned a score ranging from 0 ("not present") to 4 ("severe"). The total score of this scale ranges from 0 to 68, with scores greater than 7 indicating mild depressive symptoms.
