The aim of this study is to compare the effects of anterior cervical discectomy versus percutaneous plasma discectomy on pain, on global perceived effect, functional status and health-related quality of life in a group of patients with cervical…
The purpose of this study is to observe the usability of dexmedetomidine compared to the standard therapy (propofol) and to determine the overall satisfaction of the patient.
To determine if a marked change in the concentrations of one or more of the selected biomarker is evident before PUs are visible
Documentation of the patients' functional recovery and quantification of fusion after implantation of 3-D trabecular titanium cages on the short and long term. These data will be compared with the recently performed randomized CASCADE trial on…
Primary Objective:What is the effectiveness of immediate opioid pain medication (followed by step-down) versus step-up pain medication within the treatment according general practitioners* clinical guideline in patients with (sub)acute sciatica,…
The main objective is to investigate if the sensation of children with an upper OBPL is diminished. Both children that were treated conservatively as children that were surgically treated with nerve surgery in early infancy.The primary research…
We aim to increase patient compliance by extending the existing treatment protocol of (oral or intravesical) anticholinergics plus application of CIC with the addition of bladder pressure measurement performed at home during CIC plus access to an…
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of a range of single IV and SC doses of BG00010 in healthy volunteers, and a range of multiple SC doses of BG00010 in subjects with painful lumbar radiculopathy.Secondary…
Intermittent neurogenic claudication due to lumbar stenosis is frequently diagnosed among older persons. Due to an aging population it is to be expected the incidence of lumbar stenosis will increase over time. Patients are operated on because of…
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of 3 intravenous (IV) injections of BG00010 given on 2 fixed schedules; weekly and as frequently as every 48 hours (but no more than 3 times…
The primary objective is to evaluate the short- and long-term effectiveness of a hybrid cycle training program on physical capacity, active lifestyle, participation, and quality of life among a group of inactive individuals with a chronic SCI.…
To show whether Active C disc prosthesis is more effective than anterior discectomy with or without interbody fusion 1 year after surgery. Moreover, the incidence of adjacent disc degeneration will be evaluated 5 years after surgery.
The primary objective is to find out whether there is enhanced processing of sensory stimuli when people are in pain and to find out whether SCS has influence on the processing of sensory stimuli applied on non painful body parts. We focus on the…
investigate the value of percutaneous pulsed radiofrequency, applied to the lumbar and sacral dorsal root ganglion; more specifically try to determine if a significant and long lasting pain reduction can be obtained as compared to a sham-operated…
The main objective is to examine the effectiveness, the costs and the cost-effectiveness of an integrated *fast track* rehabilitation service for multi-trauma patients (SFTRS) involving dedicated early rehab intervention programs. The SFTRS is…
Gain insight in the anatomy and organisation of the sacral plexus in children with NB and congenital spinal or sacral anomalies. Possible findings can be compared with the results of the healthy subjects, in order to be able to relate findings to…
The primary objective is to evaluate the effectiveness of low-intensity hand rim wheelchair exercise training on physical capacity, daily (wheelchair) functioning, participation and quality of life in people with a spinal cord injury. Furthermore,…
To investigate which technique is the most effective in terms of pain relief on short term in patients with contained cervical disc herniation: PCN or PRF?
Objective of the study is to verify whether the movement pattern after anterior cervical discectomy normalises, in case of implantation of a cervical disc prosthesis.
The general objective of this project is to evaluate, for persons with a SCI, on the short and long term, the added value of a behavioural focused intervention, on top of a physical exercise intervention, on the level of everyday physical activity.…
