Some concerns |
No information on allocation concealment, but baseline characteristics do not show any differences between the two groups, except in gender. |
Low risk of bias |
Though the personnel were aware of the intervention allocation, but there seems to be no deviations that arouse outside the trial context. Also all patients analysed as randomised. |
Low risk of bias |
Data reasonably complete for all the included patients |
Low risk of bias |
Being an objective outcome, it is unlikely that assessment of the outcome would be influenced by knowledge of allocation group, It was a double blinded RCT and hence the outcome assessors are blinded to allocation; EEG was used to diagnose abnormal activity |
Some concerns |
Trial protocol not available |
High risk of bias |
Some concerns in more than one domain |
