a nonsignificant trendP = 0.08
Right-sided gum chewing revealed a nonsignificant trend toward increased peak amplitude ( P = 0.08; not statistically significant).
Right-sided gum chewing revealed a nonsignificant trend toward increased peak amplitude ( P = 0.08; not statistically significant).
A reduction in the variability of closing duration showed a trend but was not statistically significant ( P = 0.054; not statistically significant).
The level of significance was set at P < 0.05 and P < 0.10 as approaching significance.
While peak amplitude increased slightly, it did not reach statistical significance, possibly due to between-subject variability.
