If a study is practically significant but not statistically significant, it indicates that the sample size may have been too small or that the measurements were not precise enough. Therefore, to make the study more statistically significant, one should consider increasing the sample size and/or improving the measurement techniques. Increasing dosage or improving implementation may not necessarily result in statistical significance if the underlying issue is a lack of precision in the measurements or a sample size that is too small. It is not appropriate to simply accept suboptimal results and move on.
