简要总结

This study is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Pristiq® in treatment of the symptoms of Generalized Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD).

详细描述

Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD) is recognized as a prevalent, chronic and disabling condition. Lifetime prevalence has been estimated at 13% in the National Comorbidity Survey. There is good reason to think that Pristiq® would be effective in Social Anxiety Disorder. Effexor XR, which is mechanistically similar to Pristiq®, was found effective for subjects with Generalized Social Anxiety Disorder in all five of the placebo controlled trials in which it was studied.
