Study Summary

The objective of this study was to obtain preliminary open-label data on the efficacy and tolerability of memantine, an anti-glutamatergic medication with a unique pharmacodynamic profile, in individuals with OCD and individuals with GAD. Because glutamatergic hyperactivity in frontal and frontal-subcortical circuits may play a role in the symptomatic expression of OCD, and possibly GAD, agents that reduce glutamatergic neurotransmission should provide unique anti-stress and anti-obsessional benefits. Memantine is a specific, uncompetitive antagonist at the NMDA receptor that blocks sustained activation of the NMDA receptor by high concentrations of glutamate under pathological conditions but rapidly leaves the NMDA channel upon transient physiological activation by low concentrations of glutamate.

Primary Outcome

Participants in the OCD group were rated using the Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale (Y-BOCS), a standard measure of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) severity in pharmacotherapy studies. It is administered by a trained rater. It comprises 10 items assessing OCD symptoms (e.g. time spent, degree of control, severity). Each item is scored on a scale from 0 (not present) to 4 (severe) \[total score range = 0-40\] over the previous week. The higher the number on the Y-BOCS, the more severe th
