Participant Flow

Patients were recruited by general practitioner. First patient included: 12 October 2007 Last patient terminated the study: 04 October 2008

This French multicentre, randomized double-blind study was conducted on three parallel arms. The 14-week study comprised 3 visits: a screening visit (week 0, V1), a randomization and treatment allocation visit (week 6, V2) and an evaluation visit (week 14, V3). Patients were randomized at V2 and were treated for a period of 8 weeks.
