Groups2
Group 2 names the comparator: placebo.
| Group | Title | Description | With the outcome | Analysed | ClinicalTrials.gov code |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Group 1 | Lithium Treatment Group | The patient will be started on lithium 150mg/day, with subsequent dose titration to 300mg/day at the 2-week visit, 450mg/day at the 4-week visit, and 600mg/day (maximum daily dose) if tolerated and based on lithium blood level. Blood will be drawn at each study visit. This upward dose titration will occur only if clinically indicated (absence of response at lower doses without intolerable side effects).~Patients who develop side effects, e.g., tremor, falls, will have their dose reduced.~Lithium | 11 | 38 | EG000 |
| Group 2 | Placebo Group | The patient will be started on placebo 150mg/day, with subsequent dose titration to 300mg/day at the 2-week visit, 450mg/day at the 4-week visit, and 600mg/day (maximum daily dose) if tolerated and based on sham lithium blood level. Blood will be drawn for sham lithium levels at weeks 2, 4, 6, 8, and 12. This upward dose titration will occur only if clinically indicated (absence of response at lower doses without intolerable side effects).~Patients who develop side effects, e.g., tremor, falls, will have their dose reduced.~Placebo | 11 | 39 | EG001 |
