Table 2.

A summary table of significant effects and interactions from a repeated measures MANCOVA analysis performed using SPSS V24 using 4 repeated measures at times baseline, post-treatments and FU1 and FU2. Between subject groupings were Active_Sham and LPCS_SPCS. Dependent variables were RPQ3, RPQ13, MADRS and EVestG (AP-area). Tests in order are: Multivariate tests, Mauchly’s test of sphericity, Tests of Within-subject effects, Univariate tests, and Pairwise Comparisons.

Tests the null hypothesis that the error covariance matrix of the orthonormalized transformed dependent variables is proportional to an identity matrix.
d May be used to adjust the degrees of freedom for the averaged tests of significance. Corrected tests are displayed in the Within-Subjects Effects table.
