sion (MADRS <12) by the end of the study, compared with 29 percent of placebo-treated patients (p< 0.0001).
Compared with placebo, duloxetine-treated patients also experienced a significantly better outcome in response to pain (>30% reduction from baseline in average pain severity) and improved daily functioning not limited by pain (BPI interference subscale).
10.5 percent of study patients treated with duloxetine and 5.5 percent of patients treated with placebo discontinued treatment because of adverse events. The most commonly reported adverse events among those taking duloxetine were nausea (24.7 percent for duloxetine-treated patients, vs. 7.9 percent for those taking placebo), excessive sweating (11.7 percent vs. 2.4 percent), dry mouth (10.5 percent vs. 3.6 percent), headache (7.4 percent vs. 9.1 percent), fatigue (8.0 percent vs. 1.8 percent), dizziness (5.6 percent vs. 3.6 percent), and constipation (5.6 percent vs. 1.2 percent).

Methodology

This double-blind, eight week study included 327 patients randomized to placebo (n=165) or duloxetine 60mg (n=162) and was conducted in Belgium, Finland, France, Germany and Slovakia.
Trial participants were outpatients aged 18 or older presenting with:
Major depressive disorder (MDD), as assessed by the Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS, with a score of >20) and the Clinical Global Impression of Severity scale (CGI-S, with a score of >4).
At least moderate pain not attributable to a diagnosed pain syndrome, as assessed by the Brief Pain Inventory (BPI, with a score of >3), a validated scale used to assess the severity of pain and the impact of pain on daily functions.
The primary outcome measure was the brief pain inventory average pain score at endpoint, and the change from baseline, using the mixed-model-repeated-measures (MMRM) method.
Secondary measures included MADRS total score, CGI-S, SCL-90-R, response and remission, s
