Although the observed effects failed to reach significance at the conventional 0.05 threshold, possibly due to an undersized sample, an encouraging trend towards stronger symptom reduction in the treatment group for overall negative symptoms and for almost all subtypes was found at the 0.10-level.

Conclusions The effect found in this study was significant at the 0.10 level, however, we observed an overall trend toward a stronger symptom reduction in almost all subtypes of NS and a small, yet clinically substantial effect size as judged by Levine and Leucht [ 45 ], equaling 15.27% of symptom reduction in overall NS.
The repeated measures ANOVA of the SANS total score (SANS_TS), comprising the factors Time (T1, T2) and Group (treatment, control) revealed a marginally significant interaction effect on the significance level of 0.1 in the hypothesized direction indicating stronger symptom reduction in the treatment group ( F (1, 41) = 2.99, p = 0.09).
