What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Expulsion of stones or Reduction in the number and size of the stones.
Time Frame: 0,15,30,45 days post drug treatment
The recruited subjects will be assessed for their parameters from base line and 15th day 30th day and 45th day of drug treatment. It will be measured either the expulsion of stones and/or reduction in number and size of stones from the baseline. The Ultra sound abdomen or X-ray will be done on 0 day and 45th day only.
