You're absolutely right that long-term follow-up is crucial for understanding sustained outcomes. A 1-year follow-up is something we hope to include in future work. For this initial study, however, we’re focused on short-term efficacy as it’s a preliminary investigation of a new treatment approach and part of a doctoral dissertation with a fixed timeline and scope. We’ll be transparent about these limitations in our reporting, and hope this early work lays the foundation for longer-term studies down the line.
