Table 3. Comparison of mean change scores for the Arousal Scale during each visit (n = 20) .

Visit Mean Score Mean Change Score
Pre Mid Post Pre-to-Mid Mid-to-Post Pre-to-Post P value Pre-to-Post % Change
1 2.60 2.95 2.70 0.35 0.25 *0.10 3.85

One-Way Repeated Measures ANOVA for mean change scores between each visit pre-to-mid Arousal Scale was statistically significant along a linear trend (P = 0.009) and within-subjects (sphericity assumed-P = 0.02). That is, the trend from 0.35 (visit 1) to 0.8 (visit 8) was statistically significant (P = 0.009).

One-Way Repeated Measures ANOVA for mean change scores between each visit pre-to-post Arousal Scale was statistically significant along a linear trend (P = 0.05). That is, the trend from 0.1 (visit 1) to 0.75 (visit 8) was statistically significant (P = 0.05).

* Statistical significance (P < 0.05).
