This is a test in Brief Assessment of Cognition in which patient sequences digits from lowest to highest. Range of number of correct responses (0-28); higher numbers show better digit sequencing and greater cognition.

Population: Intent to treat (ITT) population observed cases. Endpoint is LOCF endpoint among Week 1 through Week 6.

Change is observed value at each visit minus baseline value. Endpoint is LOCF endpoint among Week 1 through Week 6. This is a test in Brief Assessment of Cognition in which a patient places as many of 100 tokens (2 at a time) into a container as they can within 60 seconds. The higher number of tokens placed = patient is better at motor tasks
