Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Main Objective: To assess the muscle tone with functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) in adult patients undergoing SPW with hormone deficit, before and after 12 months of GH treatment.;Secondary Objective: 1. To assess the effect of GH treatment on the muscle strength before and after 12 months of treatment.<br>2. To assess the effect of GH treatment on the body composition before and after 12 months of treatment.<br>3. To study if there are changes on different cognitives aspects before and after 12 months of treatment.<br>4. To study if there are changes in some of the metabolism regulatory hormones (leptina and kisspeptina) and if they correlate with body composition changes.<br>5. To study the sleeping architecture, the <br>presence of respiratory sleep disorder and the sleeping quality, before and after 12 months of GH treatment.;Primary end point(s): Muscle tone with functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI);Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 12 months
