Its global score is intended to reflect treatment effectiveness as perceived by the patient. It is a good complementary tool to judge, in particular, satisfaction with the treatment received. Consists of four questions, and score with a score ranging from 0 to 18 points. The more points, the more satisfied you are with the treatment.
