Change in the Incontinence Quality of Life total score and 3 sub-domain scores
Responder analysis based on the established within-treatment minimal clinically important difference established for the I-QOL
Responder analysis based on percent change in IEF
Patient's rating of improvement using the PGI-I
Compare efficacy of duloxetine 40 mg twice daily with that of placebo as measured by the percent change in IEF using in the SUI and MUI subgroups
To assess the impact of treatment with duloxetine 40 mg twice daily and placebo on the development of suicidal ideation.
Assess the impact of treatment with duloxetine 40 mg twice daily and placebo in cognition.
Assess the impact of treatment with duloxetine 40 mg twice daily and placebo as measured by changes in BDI-II.
