Summary

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of pregabalin as compared to placebo in the treatment of patients with general anxiety disorder (GAD). Efficacy will be measured by the improvement in the total Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAM-A) scores from baseline observed following 8 weeks of double-blind treatment or at earlier termination during the double-blind treatment phase and analyzed using a mixed linear model for repeated measures.
