|
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 between the patient inclusion moment in the study and the scores obtained at the end of the follow up period, according to the clinic scales assessment and the objective study results (MR, neurophysiological records, urodynamic records and defecatory activity). |
La eficacia se evaluará teniendo en cuenta la variación en la puntuación de las diferentes escalas entre el momento de la inclusión del paciente en el estudio y las puntuaciones obtenidas al final del periodo de seguimiento, tanto en lo que respecta a la valoración de escalas clínicas como al resultado de los estudios objetivos (RM, y registros neurofisiológicos, así como registros urodinámicos y de actividad defecatoria). |
|
