Here’s what I think: the study was of people with ongoing post-concussion headaches. Therefore it made no sense to ask if they were getting headaches as a side effect. The 5g/day piracatem group reported a significantly larger improvement (decrease) in headaches than the placebo group.
Yeah; it’s shocking how badly a Wikipedia-cite can fail at living up to what’s promised (sentence is edited without checking that cite supports the edited version?). I thought about making a correction but will probably pass.
By the way, I don’t doubt that the Wikipedia sentence you quoted me is true; it’s just that the cites (required by Wikipedia policy) are inappropriate—to our mutual surprise.
Probably what happened is the sentence grew by accretion, and that cite about concussion victims being helped by piracetam was originally being used for something other than choline alleviating problems. There are tools to search through history, but I don’t care enough to refind them.
That would be very strange. I don’t believe it.

That seems plausible. Maybe you should complain on the piracetam talk page.
