Trial Outcomes & Findings for Multiple-dose,Double-blind,Placebo-controlled Study of Sodium Oxybate in Patients With Essential Tremor (NCT NCT00598078)

NCT ID: NCT00598078

Last Updated: 2012-01-23

Results Overview

The modified FTM sum of all essential rating tremor scales including voice tremor includes: the tremor rating taken for the left \& right hands individually at rest, with posture (arms outstretched), with action (finger to nose). It also includes an evaluation of voice with scores for AAA \& EEE sounds, an action evaluation of left \& right hands pouring, bringing liquids to mouth, drawing large \& small spirals. Scores for indiviuals items range from 0 (no tremor) to 4 (severe tremor). The sum ranges from 0 (no tremor) to 72 points (higher amplitude/more tremors).
