  Limitations and Caveats

Limitations of the study, such as early termination leading to small numbers of participants analyzed and technical problems with measurement leading to unreliable or uninterpretable data
Larger group sizes would enable more conclusive tests of treatment differences; Study design began with guanfacine first and addition of a stimulant second, making difficult to compare to those study designs adding guanfacine to ongoing stimulants.
