Further study details as provided by Mount Sinai School of Medicine:

Primary Outcome Measures:

To assess the efficacy and safety of fluoxetine in the treatment of pediatric body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) via a 13-week double-blind, placebo-controlled parallel group trial at three sites.

Estimated Enrollment:	37
Study Start Date:	November 2004
Estimated Study Completion Date:	December 2008

Detailed Description:

BDD usually begins in childhood or adolescence, but its treatment in pediatric populations has not been investigated. Recent data suggests that adults with BDD may respond to serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SRIs) such as fluoxetine (Prozac). Preliminary findings from case reports suggest that SRIs may also be effective in the treatment of BDD in children and adolescents. This study is the first large-scale, double-blind, placebo-controlled medication trial of fluoxetine for children and adolescents with BDD. Participants should be between the ages of 10-16, and participation in this trial will last approximately 14 weeks.
