Being tested
Questionnaire

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • QuestionnaireOther

    A questionnaire to evaluate clinical improvement and quality of life after ESSURE removal will be completed by patients at least one month after the procedure.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Evaluation of the clinical improvement after the intervention of withdrawal of ESSURE devices

    This evaluation will be carried out thanks to a questionnaire. The 4th question retrospectively identifies the symptoms presented by patients. The proposed list of symptoms was established by reviewing the symptoms most often found in the medical records of the patients included.

    Question 11 evaluates the variation of each symptom after removal of ESSURE devices through an ordinal scale (total disappearance, significant improvement, poor improvement, no improvement, worsening).

    Measured: One day at least one month after the procedure
