Two-way ANCOVA were used to determine whether there are significant differences between treatment (placebo, haloperidol, risperidone 2 mg, risperidone 6 mg, and risperidone 10-16 mg) and EPS or use of antiparkinsonian agents. No significant interaction effects were found indicating that the mean EPS or use of antiparkinsonian agents differed significantly for the different treatments.
