-Changes in ASIA scales and its subsections, as well as in IANR-SCIFRS, PENN, ASHWORTH, EVA, GEFFNER and BDS scales. -Changes in the neurophysiological records (somato-sensory evoked potentials, motor evoked potentials and EMG). -Changes in spinal cord morphology in neuroimaging studies (MRI). -Changes in urodynamic records.
|
- Modificaciones en las escalas ASIA y sus subapartados, asi como en las escalas IANR-SCIFRS, PENN, ASHWORTH, EVA, GEFFNER y BDS. - Modificaciones en los registros neurofisiológicos (Potenciales evocados somato- sensoriales, Potenciales evocados motores y EMG). - Modificaciones de la morfología medular, tras estudio de neuroimagen (RM de alta definición). - Modificaciones en registros urodinámicos. |
|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
Efficacy will be assessed taking into account the changes in score of the different scales along the study, compared to the scores before starting treatment, and also comparing neurophysiological and urodynamic records, and marrow morphology baseline data with those obtained in the end of the follow up period (10 months after the start of the treatment). |
La eficacia se evaluará teniendo en cuenta la variación en la puntuación de las diferentes escalas a lo largo del estudio, en comparación con las puntuaciones obtenidas antes de iniciar el tratamiento, e igualmente comparando los registros neurofisiológicos y urodinámicos, y los datos de morfología medular considerados como datos basales y los obtenidos al finalizar el periodo de seguimiento (mes 10 tras el inicio de la fase de tratamiento) |
|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
Will be evaluated the changes in neurotrophic factors levels in CSF (BDNF, GDNF, NGF, CNTF, NT3 and NT4), as well as possible adverse effects during CME administration, development of complications and other adverse effects after it and during the follow up period. |
Se evaluarán las posibles modificaciones en los niveles de factores neurotróficos en LCR en el curso del tratamiento (BDNF, GDNF, NGF, CNTF, NT3 y NT4), así como los posibles efectos adversos durante la administración de las CME, aparición de complicaciones y otros efectos adversos tras la misma y durante el periodo de seguimiento. |
