Clinical Study

Randomized, Placebo-Controlled, Double-Blind Pilot Study of D-Cycloserine in Chronic Stroke

Table 2

ANOVA table for (a) time, (b) treatment group, and (c) time × treatment interaction for A-prime, reaction time, DETECT -score, grip strength, BBT, CES-D, and SIS categories. There was a significant main effect of time on reaction time, DETECT -score, grip strength of the affected hand, and CES-D score. There was a significant main effect of treatment group on grip strength of the unaffected hand only. There was a significant time × treatment group interaction for SIS overall stroke recovery rating only.
