Extending Popliteal block duration with adding clonidine to the levobupivacaine (= standard care)
To investigate effectiveness of spinal chloroprocaine, and prilocaine in day case surgery. The null hypothesis is that there is no significant intergroup difference in complete recovery from motor blockade.
The purpose of the proposed project is to evaluate the immediate and long-term effects of cognitive rehabilitation in a prospective randomized trial on neuropsychological test performance and self-reported cognitive symptoms, psychological symptoms…
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: To assess whether early postoperative AED withdrawal improves cognitive function compared to late withdrawal.Secondary objectives: * To confirm safety of earlier AED withdrawal; we will assess eventual seizure freedom, seizure…
Primary Objective: To assess whether both OCT (optical coherence tomography) and/or HSI (hyperspectral imaging) detect differences in glioma tissue as compared to healthy tissue as examined during brain-surgery.Secondary Objective(s): To assess if…
Our aim is to investigate whether patients who are informed by video will have less preoperative anxiety than the patients who receive usual information.
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…
The main objective of this project is to evaluate the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of minimal interventional procedures as an add-on to a multidisciplinary pain program for patients with chronic mechanical low back pain who are referred to a…
To evaluate the effect of surgical decompression of the nerves in the lower extremities in patients with painful diabetic neuropathy.
The objective of this study is to examine the vestibular system in three dimensions. To achieve this goal three experiments are performed. The EyeSeeCam video-oculography is validated with the scleral search coils (international golden standard).…
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 objective of the study is to provide clinical evidence proving that the Aperius* PercLID* System is safe and non-inferior to Standalone Decompressive Surgery (decompressive spinal surgery without additional instrumentation/fixation) with regards…
Establishment whether usage of high viscosity PMMA bone cement in PVP for OVCFs leads to a reduction in leakage incidence compared to usage of conventional (low-medium) viscosity PMMA bone cement in PVP for OVCFs.Since evidence is scarce or…
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.
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?
To determine if dose-intensifying the adjuvant temozolomide component of the chemoradiation treatment enhances treatment efficacy as measured by overall survival.
To assess whether there is less peri-operative pain and a faster post operative recovery.
Our primary goal is to compare the effects of a positive pressure mechanical ventilation with spontaneous breathing on systemic cytokine release in patients with normal pulmonary function. Secondly, the possible effects of surgery on the ventilation…
Safety and performance will be based on a comparison of overall success rates of the Barricaid ARDand either a concurrent group (nonrandomized) of control patients treated by conventional surgicalmethods (e.g., noninstrumented discectomy) at select…
