HAM-D Hamilton Depression Scale, CI confidence interval

* Wald test statistic p-value from logistic regression model comparing Program to Control outcomes, adjusted for seizure at baseline

** McNemar’s Exact χ2 test for binomial paired data: comparing baseline to end point proportion of clinical outcome (i.e., recent attack) for the full cohort

*** P-value taken from ANCOVA (analysis of covariance) for each scale comparing program vs. control scores at end point, adjusted for baseline score

**** P-value from Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test comparing baseline to end point scores (full cohort)
