This dose group (10 mg TID) at 8 weeks also showed nominally significant improvement (Fig. 4 ) for both the ABC-C FX Irritability subscale ( p = 0.031, effect size 0.51) and the Parenting Stress Index ( p = 0.032, effect size 0.42), and trends toward improvement on the ABC-C FX Hyperactivity subscale ( p = 0.081, effect size 0.44) and the CGI-I ( p = 0.119, effect size 0.43) (Fig. 5a ).
