Mean scores of the CogEvo and differences between the two groups.

The Difference represents the value calculated by subtracting the score of the control group from the score of the SoroTouch group. Mixed effect models for repeated measures were applied to analyze. The baseline scores, groups (SoroTouch or control), timing of examination, and interaction between groups and timing of examination were set as covariates. A Bonferroni correction was applied for our hypothesis testing, and the adjusted criterion for statistical significance of the primary outcomes was 0.0014, and p-values smaller than this threshold were considered significant. The analysis showed no statistically significant differences in the scores between the two groups in either total or task scores. (XLSX)
