" Hair count was performed as described previously. The diameter of the pretreatment bald area was recorded, and photographs were taken. The patients were given 5% cyclosporine in syringes of 2.5 ml. Each patient received 7 ml once weekly. The placebo group received syringes containing olive oil. Medication was applied to the scalp twice daily. The total dose for each application was 0.3 ml. Three subjects received only olive oil for the first 4 months. Ten patients received cyclosporine for the entire 12-month study period. The results in the groups were compared by nonparamctric Mann-Whitney U test.
This has me very confused. It says initially that the patients were given 7ml ONCE weekly, but then it says that it was applied to the scalp twice daily?
As far as I can tell, I believe this to be saying that patients were given a 5% solution in 2.5ML syringes, in which every week they were allowed 7mL.
I don't know I just havent seen anything worded like this before and have no idea. Help appreciated!
