Table 7:

Exploratory higher dose (32 mg/kg) results for Magnitude (Magn) of amplitude and frequency tremor, Voice Handicap Index (VHI-10) and auditory-perceptual (A-P) tremor severity ratings: group means, standard deviations (SD), F-statistics and P values with and without baseline (BL) covariance adjustment (alpha <0.05). Means are for data from Baseline 3 and Post-test 3 for each drug phase.
