Combined Treatment for Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)
23 декабря 2016 г. обновлено: Paul Crits-Christoph, University of Pennsylvania
The purpose of this study is to conduct a preliminary evaluation of the efficacy of combined medication and psychotherapy for generalized anxiety disorder (GAD).
The general goals of the current study are to conduct a late stage treatment development study.
The goal of this stage of research is to provide a preliminary answer to the question and to gather data to estimate intervention parameters (e.g., effect size, attrition rates, response rates) that would assist in planning further research.

Подробное описание
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.

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.

Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAM-A)
Временное ограничение: 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.

|
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.

Quality of Life Subscale of the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ)
Временное ограничение: 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.

Physical Component Score of the 12-Item Short Form Survey (SF-12)
Временное ограничение: 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
Временное ограничение: 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.
