Szczegółowy opis
The specific aims of this study are to collect preliminary data relevant to the following hypotheses:
- Primary Hypothesis: Acute phase improvement for combined cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) plus medication will be superior to medication alone.
- Secondary Hypotheses: Combined CBT plus medication will be superior to medication alone on a number of secondary outcome measures, including the core feature of GAD (worry), depressive symptoms, functional impairment, and quality of life.
- Additional Exploratory Aim: We will explore the comparative relapse rates for the combined CBT plus medication treatment and the medication alone treatment condition at 6-month follow-up.

Eksperymentalny: Combined Treatment
Patients who receive combined cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) plus medication (venlafaxine XR, flexibly dosed between 75-225 mg/day) treatment for GAD.

Medication continued for the full 6 months.
|
This cognitive behavioral therapy for GAD has a cognitive restructuring component and an applied relaxation component.
Patients will be educated about the nature of anxiety and be trained in the recognition and monitoring of situational, physiological, cognitive, and behavioral cues associated with anxious responding.
They will be guided through copings skill rehearsals in addition to imaginal and in vivo exposure to anxiety cues.
This cognitive behavioral treatment will consist of 1 to 1.5 hour sessions of psychotherapy, which will be held once weekly over a period of 12 weeks.
Venlafaxine XR, 75-225 mg/d, oral administration.
14 days at 75 mg/d, 150 mg/d for the remaining 6 months, 225 mg/3 for patients unimproved at week 6, tapered at 75 mg/week (this intervention is provided by protocol 709012).

Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAM-A)
Ramy czasowe: Data collected as part of protocol 709012 at baseline, week 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 20, and 24
|
The HAM-A was used to measure the severity of anxiety symptoms.
The scale consists of 14 items; each item is scored on a scale of 0 (not present) to 4 (severe), with a total score range of 0-56, where <17 indicates mild severity, 18-24 mild to moderate and 25-30 moderate to severe anxiety.
This measure was conducted by research psychiatrists trained and highly experienced in the use of these scales.
The evaluators were blind to group assignment.

Hospital Anxiety Depression Scale (HAD)-Anxiety Score
Ramy czasowe: Data collected as part of protocol 709012 at baseline, week 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 20, and 24
|
The HAD was used to assess patients' report of anxiety and depressive symptoms.
Each item on the questionnaire is scored from 0-3 and this means that a person can score between 0 and 21 for either anxiety or depression.

Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HAM-D)-17-item Score
Ramy czasowe: Data collected as part of protocol 709012 at baseline, week 12, and week 24
|
The 17-item version of the HAM-D was used to assess severity of depressive symptoms.
Eight items are scored on a 5-point scale, ranging from 0 = not present to 4 = severe.
Nine are scored from 0-2.The total score is the sum of the 17 items, with a range from 0 to 50.
A higher scores indicates greater depression.
The ratings were conducted by research psychiatrists trained and highly experienced in the use of these scales.
The evaluators were blind to group assignment.

Clinical Global Impression (CGI)-Severity Score
Ramy czasowe: Data collected as part of protocol 709012 at baseline, week 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 20, and 24
|
The Clinical Global Impression - Severity scale (CGI-S) is a 7-point scale (1=normal; 7 = extremely ill) that requires the clinician to rate the severity of the patient's illness at the time of assessment, relative to the clinician's past experience with patients who have the same diagnosis.
The ratings were conducted by research psychiatrists trained and highly experienced in the use of these scales.
Evaluators were blind to group assignment.

|
The Clinical Global Impression - Improvement scale (CGI-I) is a 7 point scale (1= very much improved; 7 = very much worse) that requires the clinician to assess how much the patient's illness has improved or worsened relative to a baseline state at the beginning of the intervention.

Quality of Life Subscale of the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ)
Ramy czasowe: Data collected as part of protocol 709012 at baseline, week 12, and week 24
|
The General Health Questionnaire (GHQ) is a psychometric screening tool to identify common psychiatric conditions.
Patients completed the 12 quality of life questions (each on a 0 to 3 scale) on this questionnaire.
Scores on the 12 items were added up to create summary score (range = 0 to 36).
Higher scores indicate worse health.

|
The Penn State Worry Questionaire is a 16-item inventory that aims to measure the trait of worry, using Likert rating from 1 (not at all typical of me) to 5 (very typical of me).
A total score is calculated (range = 16 to 80), with higher scores indicating greater worry.

Physical Component Score of the 12-Item Short Form Survey (SF-12)
Ramy czasowe: Data collected as part of protocol 709012 at baseline, week 12, and week 24
|
The Short Form (12) Health Survey is a 12-item, patient-reported survey of patient health.
Physical and Mental Health Component Scores (PCS & MCS) are computed using the scores of twelve questions and range from 0 to 100, where a zero score indicates the lowest level of health measured by the scales and 100 indicates the highest level of health.

50 Percent or Greater Reduction in PSWQ Score
Ramy czasowe: Data collected as part of protocol 709012 at baseline, week 12, and week 24
|
Clinically significant change was defined on the PSWQ as an estimated (based on linear mixed effects model) endpoint score of less than 50.9.
This score was calculated using the PSWQ normative data provided by Gillis, Haaga, and Ford (1995) and the baseline PSWQ mean and standard deviation (SD) from the current sample.
The PSWQ mean and SD from the normative and current GAD samples were entered into the Jacobson et al. (1984) formula "c" for clinically significant change.
This method provides a cutoff indicating whether or not the level of functioning by a patient is statistically more likely to be in the functional rather than the dysfunctional population.
