Abstract :
[en] The objective of the present study was to evaluate the efficacy of a dry extract of Passiflora incarnata L. (Sedanxio®) in patients consulting for anxiety in general practice. A total of 2928 patients were included by 219 general practitioners. Patients were evaluated at baseline and 2 weeks later using the Hamilton Anxiety Scale. Results showed a very significant improvement in anxiety scores, from 25.6 (SD = 8.3) at baseline visit to 15.4 (SD = 7.7) at follow up visit (-41%) (p < 0.0001). The Hamilton psychic and somatic subscores improved similarly. In addition, 15.6% of the patients could be considered in remission at visit 2 (Hamilton Anxiety Scale less than 7). These results demonstrate the interest of Passiflora incarnata as a first line treatment of anxiety symptoms.
