[Clinical evaluation of clotiazepam in the ambulatory treatment of anxiety states].

To assess the therapeutic efficacy and tolerability of Clotiazepam in the treatment of anxiety, the drug was administered to 20 subjects suffering from anxiety (12 cases) or from nervous depression (8 cases), all of whom were without psychopharmacological drugs for at least one month prior to the trial. Treatment with Clotiazepam improved the anxiety and brought about a statistically significant reduction in both groups of patients regards the total score in the Hamilton Scale and in the two sub-scale scores (somatic and psychological symptoms). Tolerability to the drug was very satisfactory.
