What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Patients' functioning assessed by the Sheehan Disability Scale (SDS) total score

    Measured: At baseline

  2. Patients' functioning assessed by the SDS total score

    Measured: At 12 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Associations between the patients' clinical condition measured as score on Clinical Global Improvement Severity scale (CGI-S) and of patients' functioning measured as total score on SDS

    Measured: At baseline

  2. Associations between the patients' clinical condition measured as score on CGI-S and of patients' functioning measured as total score on SDS

    Measured: At 12 months

  3. Associations between the patients' clinical condition measured as score on CGI-S and of patients' functioning measured as total score on SDS

    Measured: At 24 months

What are the possible benefits and risks?

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Patients' functioning assessed by the Sheehan Disability Scale (SDS) total score (time frame: At baseline). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01427439, which also lists 2 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 8 Jul 2015.
