|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
Secondary Objective: To analyze whether the superiority of Metoprolol Succinate treatment is kept up to three months after the last drug intake. To quantitatively describe and compare the median duration and severity of vertigo attacks, the number of headache days, neurological and neuro-orthoptic examination and the change of handicap / impairment due to vertigo or dizziness vs. placebo. To check for the occurrence of the adverse effects reported in the summary of the medical product characteristics (SmPC) of the drug. |
