Table 4 Mean change scores (follow-up scores adjusted for baseline) for the clinical outcome measures at 12-week post-randomisation timepoints including the number of participants (N), means, and standard deviations (SD) for each trial arm, and the estimated between-groups effect size (Cohen’s d with 95% confidence intervals)
