According to the trial protocol, follow-up data were scheduled to be collected at one-week post-intervention. However, due to an honest procedural oversight, these data were not collected. This deviation was identified upon review of the dataset. All other measurement points (baseline, post-assessment and one-month follow-up) were properly collected. | — |
