Measure Type Primary
Measure Title Average Change of the MADRS (Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale) Total Score From Baseline to Final Visit After 12 Weeks of Treatment
Measure Description Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS)is a 10 item questionaire preformed during a clinical interview asking broad to detailed questions about symptoms which allows a precise rating of severity of symptoms of the past week. Questions are scored 0-6. Total Score 0-60, the higher the score indicates the most severely depressed patients.
