What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
SELF POSTUROTHERAPIEBehavioural
a simplified posturotherapy protocol that can be carried out by the patient himself. This protocol is based on the same principles as posturotherapy carried out by a physiotherapist by combining inclined positioning, percussion and diuresis.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| self-posturotherapy | Experimental | standard care (according to recommendations) + self-posturotherapy program Receives: Behavioral: SELF POSTUROTHERAPIE |
| Standard care | No intervention | standard care alone (according to recommendations) |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
stone free rate
