Registered outcomes6

Each outcome the trial registered, primary first, in ClinicalTrials.gov's words.

ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryChange in Ménière's Vertigo Attack Frequency Between Lamotrigine and Placebo GroupDuration of 12-week pre-treatment and 12-week study period (treatment)Measured with a daily questionnaire
PrimaryChange in Ménière's Vertigo Attack Frequency Within Lamotrigine GroupDuration of 12-week pre-treatment and 12-week study period (treatment)Measured with daily questionnaire
SecondaryDifference in Ménière's Vertigo Attacks in Three-Week Intervals Between Lamotrigine and Placebo GroupsDuration of Week 16 to 18Measured with a daily questionnaire.
SecondaryImprovement in Pure Tone Average in the Affected EarPrior to randomization and at completion of 12-week study periodMeasured using the average of 500, 1000, 2000, and 3000 Hz presentation level (dB)
SecondaryImprovement in Symptoms Severity12-week pre-treatment period; 6 week titration; 12-week study period (treatment)Based of rating on Clinical Global Impression of Change (CGI) score of blinded physician
SecondaryDHI ScoresBaseline (Week 1) and end of study (Week 18)Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI). Minimum score=0. Maximum score=100. Higher scores mean a worse outcome.
