http://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT01274312Primary Outcome Measures:
* Colorectal emptying [ time frame: 18 month postoperative for last included patient ] [ designated as safety issue: yes ]
Colorectal emptying at defecation after somato-autonomic reflex stimulation is mesaured using colorectal scintigraphy pre- and 18 month postoperatively
而且,成功、失败都找好了退路。不像Beaumont,一看效果不好就重新定义success:
Before the widespread use of somato-sensory reflex arch we find it of utmost importance that well designed studies with validated or even objective endpoints are performed. Results of such studies will have an international impact in either defining indications for a completely new treatment principle or, otherwise, in preventing the widespread use of an ineffective treatment.
