What it does not prove

  • Lack of placebo control means any reported benefits cannot be distinguished from placebo response or natural variation. The abstract does not report actual results, sample size, or effect sizes, preventing assessment of what was actually found. Pilot phase design with small uncontrolled groups cannot establish efficacy or safety for broader clinical use.
