Neither group, or both, names a comparator, so the groups keep ClinicalTrials.gov's order.

GroupTitleDescriptionWith the outcomeAnalysedClinicalTrials.gov code
Group 1Pramipexole Sustained Release
Tablets of Pramipexole sustained release (SR) with unit strength of 0.375 milligram (mg) and 0.75 mg were administered orally once daily at 7-9 pm before bedtime to achieve daily dose of 0.375 mg, 0.75 mg, 1.5 mg, 2.25 mg, 3.0 mg, 3.75 mg, or 4.5 mg for a treatment period of 18 weeks. The dose of Pramipexole SR was titrated to an optimised level, to achieve a maximum therapeutic effect without intolerable side effects.

Tablets of Pramipexole immediate release (IR) with unit strength of 0.25 milligram (mg) and 1.0 mg were administered in equally divided doses three times per day to achieve a total daily dose of 0.375 mg, 0.75 mg, 1.5 mg, 2.25 mg, 3.0 mg, 3.75 mg, or 4.5 mg, the third dose at 7-9 pm before bedtime for a treatment period of 18 weeks.~The dose of Pramipexole IR was titrated to an optimised level, to achieve a maximum therapeutic effect without intolerable side effects.
