Trial Outcomes & Findings for Pilot Study of Ketamine in Adults With Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) (NCT NCT01100255)

NCT ID: NCT01100255

Last Updated: 2017-02-20

Results Overview

Patients given YBOCS (Yale Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale), a gold standard measure of obsessions and compulsions. For the YBOCS the minimum units are 0 and Maximum units on the total scale are 40. The higher the number on the YBOCS, the more severe the symptoms. Response was defined as at least a 35% reduction on the YBOCS.
