简要总结
The primary objective of the study is to clinically confirm, by comparison with a control group, the performance of the 10600 +1540 nm laser in the improvement of atrophic vaginal epithelium at 3 months after the last laser treatment.
The secondary objectives are:
- Confirm the performance of 10600 +1540 nm laser in the improvement of atrophic vaginal epithelium at 9 months post-laser treatment, and compare it with the results at 3 months.
- Evaluate the improvement of the GSM urinary symptoms and urinary incontinence (UI) and their impact on the Quality of Life, at each timepoint after the first laser treatment.
- To assess the Patient's Global Impression of Improvement (PGI) with the laser treatment
- For the GSM symptoms
- For the urinary symptoms and UI
- To assess the patient's satisfaction with the laser treatment.
- For the GSM symptoms
- For the urinary symptoms and UI.

结局指标
主要结局
Atrophic vaginal epithelium change
时间窗: 3 months and 9 months post laser treatments
The primary efficacy outcome measure in this study is to obtain on the atrophic vaginal epithelium at 3 months after the last laser treatment, values going from absent/low estrogenization (0-49%) to moderate or high estrogenization (50-64%) measured with VMV. The results will be compared between the treatment and the control arm.
