I am wondering if trial outcomes ever get corrected?
I have heard that several people that were in studies were " undertreated" or deemed " no CCSVI" and subsequently correctly diagnosed and treated, usually by another center.
At first I thought that it was just an oddity and rare but over time it seems to me that I am hearing about more and more.
This doesn't bode well for CCSVI research accuracy. Especially when it involves different sites .
Do these patients ( or their correcting IRs ) ever contact the initial trial ?
Does the data ever get corrected? Do the statistics ever get recalculated?
I really do not blame the initial centers, I am sure that their failure to assess correctly was the limitations of their lack of experience. I will refrain from
listing the Trial centers that I know have miss diagnosed CCSVI, but I sure hope that the information gets conveyed and amended and republished.
Does anyone know?
