In that case, you can just do a paired analysis. Do a search for that on the wiki and you'll find examples doug

The actual time between tp1 & tp2 varies for subjects, *but* every subject received the same "dose" of treatment between timepoints. To ask if the treatment changed a subject's cortical thickness, I'm not using the actual time difference, I'm using a constant 1 for the time difference. (i.e. in long.qdec.table tp1's time = 0, and tp2's time = 1 for all subjects.)
