(): total intake of ED (first plus second treatment courses). First treatment: p = 0.197 (excellent vs. good), p < 0.001 (excellent vs. no change/poor), p = 0.006 (good vs. no change/poor). Second treatment: p = 0.034 (excellent vs. good), p = 0.406 (good vs. no change/poor). First plus second treatments: p = 0.009 (excellent vs. good), p = 0.699 (excellent vs. no change/poor), p = 0.481 (good vs. no change/poor)
