Trial Outcomes & Findings for Efficacy of Antidepressants in Chronic Back Pain (NCT NCT00964886)

NCT ID: NCT00964886

Last Updated: 2016-11-29

Results Overview

The DDS is self-report measure of "current" pain intensity of chronic back pain. Participants rate pain on a 20 point scale as being greater or less intense relative to 12 adjectival descriptor words which serve as anchors (eg, greater or less than "faint," "moderate," "strong"). Scores range from 0 to 20 with higher scores indicating higher pain intensity. The analysis evaluated the 'as randomized' sample at 12 weeks after baseline or last observation carried forward, after co-varying for baseline (pre-treatment) values.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 12 weeks after baseline (or last observation carried forward)

Population: We conducted an intent-to-treat analysis of all randomized participants assigned to desipramine or to active drug placebo (benztropine) comparing mean DDS pain intensity at Week 12 (or the last observation carried forward) adjusted for mean baseline score.

The DDS is self-report measure of "current" pain intensity of chronic back pain. Participants rate pain on a 20 point scale as being greater or less intense relative to 12 adjectival descriptor words which serve as anchors (eg, greater or less than "faint," "moderate," "strong"). Scores range from 0 to 20 with higher scores indicating higher pain intensity. The analysis evaluated the 'as randomized' sample at 12 weeks after baseline or last observation carried forward, after co-varying for baseline (pre-treatment) values.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 12 weeks after baseline (or last observation carried forward)

Population: All participants assigned at baseline to receive desipramine hydrochloride or benztropine mesylate (drug effect). This is an 'as randomized' Intent-to-Treat analysis. Values are mean scores at Week 12 (or last observation carried forward). Means are adjusted for baseline Roland and Morris scores

This questionnaire measures disability in everyday function due to back pain. It is a 24-item checklist asking patients to endorse whether or not back pain limits activities they normally do (eg, "I stay at home most of the time because of my back"). Scores range from 0 to 24, with higher scores indicating greater disability in everyday function due to back pain. The analysis evaluated the 'as randomized' sample at 12 weeks after baseline, after co-varying for baseline (pre-treatment) values.
