Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change From Baseline on the Clinician-administered Liebowitz Social Anxiety Scale (LSAS) - Total scoreBaseline (Day 1) and Week 6

The LSAS is a 24-item semi-structured interview measure of fear and avoidance experienced in a range of social and performance situations. The 24 items are divided into 2 subscales, 13 concerning performance anxiety \& 11 pertaining to social situations. The 24 items are first rated on a Likert Scale from 0 to 3 on fear felt during the situations (0=none, 1=mild, 2=moderate, 3= severe), and then the same items are rated regarding avoidance of the situation (0=never, 1=occasionally, 2=often, 3=usually). An overall global score (0 to 144) is calculated by adding total fear/anxiety and total avoidance scores. Higher scores indicated higher probability of social anxiety disorder.
