To determine whether a strategy of invasive treatment (relative to continued medical treatment) of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, mild symptoms of stable angina pectoris, and documented myocardial ischemia lead to a decrease in cardiac…
To test the effectiveness of a self help booklet without therapist guidance vis-à-vis a psycho-education brochure for adult problem drinkers in the general population.
A 10% point difference between the intervention group and control group in IDM is expected. The sample size calculation is based on a worst-case scenario with regard to precision. For a binomial distribution, the widest distribution and thus largest…
We hypothesize that the underlying mechanisms of the varying response in multiple parameters within an individual can be attributed to variability in the causal path between drug administration, drug tissue distribution, and tissue receptor…
1) The checklist 'Attune & Stimulate' is a valid instrument to assess the arousal level of clients with SID. 2) Caregivers who are randomized to the intervention group that is instructed to use the A&S-checklist attune…
To study the effect of the interaction of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibition (started preoperatively and continued 5 days into the postoperative period) and extended local anaesthetic blockade via paravertebral block on postoperative central…
The induction of immunity might be slower in older persons than in younger individuals. This could influence the occurence of adverse events induced by the vaccine.
In the first 6 months Liraglutide affects weight more than CBT, but CBT provides weight maintenance after 12 months.
To evaluate whether a dietary advice of green vegetables, beef and whole dairy products during six months including standard supportive care can decrease the TSH-level compared to standard supportive care alone in children aged 1-18 years with…
Non-inferiority (defined as < 12.5% increase) of pooled buffy coat-derived PR platelet concentrates (PR-plasma-PCs) compared to plasma (plasma-PCs) in terms of clinical efficacy determined by WHO grade ≥ 2 bleeding complications.
Background: Multiproblem young adults (between ages 18 and 27), characterized by a variety of severe psychosocial problems, comprise a societal challenge with high priority on the political agenda, both nationally and internationally. However, so…
We hypothesize that treatment with peppermint oil will lead to a greater symptom (especially abdominal pain) reduction in IBS patients compared to placebo. This will lead to a higher total percentage of responders (as defined by FDA/EMA…
The null hypothesis of the primary outcome measure is that there will be no significant differences in DASH scores 6 months after surgery between patients who underwent plate fixation or intramedullary fixation with a TEN. The alternate hypothesis…
Dental caries lesions (with ICDAS Codes 3 and 4) can be treated by sealing, offering a less invasive and less costly treatment option with the same results as preparation and restoration of the carious lesions.
1. The primary research inquiry being raised concerns anaesthesia related causes: Is it possible that adapting an amount of Sevoflurane, from 1 MAC (minimum alveolar concentration) (2,5 vol%) to ½ MAC (1,25 vol%) in an MRI scan can reduce the…
The primary objective is to demonstrate the non-inferiority of bevacizumab to ranibizumab in the treatment of patients with subfoveal CNV secondary to AMD as determined by the change in best-corrected visual acuity in the study eye from baseline to…
It is hypothesised that compared to waiting list control condition, participants in the intervention improve their diet and physical activity on the short (6 months after baseline) and long-term (12 months after baseline; when the participant…
Short hydration during cisplatin chemo radiation is significantly more effective than long hydration in preventing acute kidney injury
The aim of the pilot trial is to: 1. evaluate the potential effectiveness and effect size of the e-support program for parents of children with a chronic kidney disease; 2. to identify outcome measures most likely to capture potential patient…
