Clinical Trial Summary

Multicenter study comparing paroxetine (n=30) versus thermal cure (n=30) in patients with a diagnosis of Generalised Anxiety Disorders


Description:

Multicenter study comparing paroxetine (n=30) versus thermal cure (n=30) in patients with a diagnosis of Generalised Anxiety Disorders Main objective is to quantify the therapeutic benefit of a thermal cure on generalized anxiety disorders and to understand the psycho-biological substrates of this improvement. Secondary objectives: - A decrease of Insula activity at rest during the answers to aversive pictures and during the task of subjective measurement of heartbeat. - A decrease of sensibility to emotional interference by subliminal presentation of emotional words thanks to a lexical task and a color recognition task associated to simultaneous measurement of physiological indicator of emotional activity ( dermal resistance)

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Decrease Insula activity during a resting state task The evaluation of primary end point is performed between day 1 and day 24
Secondary Changes of HAM-A score between day 1 and day 24. The evaluation of primary end point is performed between day 1 and day 24
Secondary Sensibility non conscientious to emotional interference in lexical task and in color identification task D= Day D1/D24/D56
Secondary Modulation of electrodermal response during presentation of predictive stimuli on aversive images and its links to the subjective view of emotional state D= Day D24
Secondary Modulation of electrodermal response during presentation of predictive stimuli on aversive images and insula activation D= Day D24
Secondary Lost of significant correlation (Day 24) between HAM-A score, introspective acuity and insula hyperactivation D= Day D24
Secondary Evolution (Day 1 and Day 24) of the correlation between HAM-A global score and 1- the measure of heartbeat 2- emotional reactivity during aversive images task. D= Day D1/D24.
Secondary Difference (Day 1 and Day 24) of correlations between the symptoms severity and the activation of insula cortex during 1-aversive images task, 2-heartbeat measure task. D= Day D1/D24.
Secondary Evaluation of efficacy of the thermal cure Day 56 using HAM-A score D= Day D56
