研究组 & 干预措施
Placebo
The placebo consists of capsules containing powdered cellulose.
干预措施: Placebo (Other)
GABA
GABA is a nutrient commonly present in our diet in for example tomatoes and potatoes. It is also commercially sold as dietary supplement. A dose of 500 mg, 3 times daily is used
干预措施: GABA (Dietary Supplement)
