PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: baseline at 24 weeks

Population: data not collected at 24 weeks

The principal outcome measure will be improvement in musical performance, measured by self-rated questionnaire, quantitative Musical Instrument Digital Interface (MIDI) analysis and blinded high speed video analysis post treatment compared to baseline and 24 weeks.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: baseline and at 8 weeks

Population: Data results for Week 8 before crossover treatment.

Patient reported outcomes measured by questionnaires that address adverse events and the impact of quality of life using the perceived stress scale. A 10-item questionnaire, each item scored 0 (never) to 4 (very often), full scale from 0-40, with higher score indicating higher perceived stress. the more often the person perceives stress Change in PSS at week 8 compared to baseline

Population: Data results for Week 8 before crossover treatment.

Motor strength tested using a dynamometer to document any weakness the treatment may produce as compared to the baseline visit and 8 weeks. Dynamometer (DYN) - is a mechanical device that measures the pounds of force that a muscle exerts, Grip - a device that measures grip strength, and finger flexors digit 2 and 3 (FF d2-3). These measures are the amount of lbs of force exert. The higher number is the highest exerted out of 3 tries.
