Clinical Trial Summary

This study investigates the hypothesis that pindolol can accelerate the response to antidepressants in patients with major depression treated with venlafaxine.


Clinical Trial Description

Antidepressant therapy has a delayed onset of action of 4-6 weeks. Pindolol has in some studies shown an accelerating effect. In this study we investigate the effect of 20 mg of pindolol retarded formulation in combination with Venlafaxine compared to placebo Pindolol and Venlafaxine for a duration of 19 days.

Effect is measured by the Hamilton Depression rating Scale and the Preskorn Scale (self-rating). ;


Study Design
