Participant Flow

From May 2006 to July 2007 a total of 78 subjects were screened at the Sahlgrenska Hospital. Among these, 59 fulfilled all inclusion and no exclusion criteria and were randomized to treatment. During follow-up 5 patients (7 %) withdrew from the study, resulting in 54 patients who completed the study, comprising 27 patients in each study group.

Among patients that were screened 19 patients did not fulfill inclusion criteria or displayed exclusion criteria and did not enter the study.
