Outcome Measure
Normalized Accelerometric Tremor Power, Dominant Hand, 80min After Administration, Weighted Condition, Postural tremor was measured using accelerometry with a motion sensor (accelerometer) placed at the dorsum of each hand, and tremor recorded simultaneously with surface-electromyography of wrist flexors and extensors for 2 minutes at each time-point. The recording was repeated with 1 lbs weight added to each wrist, which was described to record the central tremor component. The primary outcome measure was defined as tremor power of the central tremor component (after the addition of weight) 80 minutes after administration, measured at the dominant hand, normalized to baseline (baseline = 1), and comparing octanoic acid vs. placebo. Ratio of tremor power at 80 min divided by tremor power at baseline used for outcome measure calculation., 80 min after administration of the study drug on day 1 and 2 of Visit 2
