Trial Outcomes & Findings for Raloxifene and Rimostil for Perimenopause-Related Depression (NCT NCT00030147)

NCT ID: NCT00030147

Last Updated: 2016-09-05

Results Overview

Center for Epidemiologic Studies-Depression Scale (CES-D) cutoff scores are typically used as a screen to identify clinically significant depression; a cutoff score of greater than 16 has been shown to correlate with clinically significant depression. In addition, a score between 8 and 15 has been used to define subsyndromal depression. The possible range of scores is zero to 60, with the higher scores indicating more symptoms, weighted by frequency of occurrence during the past week.
