Primary objective is to study the number of patients gaining at least 50% pain reduction within 8 weeks following PRF as compared to following a neurectomy. Pain intensity will be measured using numeric pain rating score (NPRS, 0-10) and Verbal…
With this study we will investigate the effects of lumbar sympathetic blockade on ERPF and measured GFR and relative changes in non - invasive hemodynamics measured before and after continuous lumbar sympathetic blockade or splanchnic blockade in…
This mapping study will contribute to our understanding of the pathogenesis of ACNES and the complex anatomical distribution of sensory input of the trunk. It will also pave the way for a better diagnostic work-up, allowing for better surgical…
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of the Freedom SCS (spinal cord stimulation) System for the treatment of chronic back and leg pain secondary to failed back surgery syndrome (FBSS) over a follow-up period of one…
The purposes of this study are to uncover 1. Which surgical methods are least likely to cause the CMS and if there is a difference in risk between primary surgery and re-operation 2. Which patients may be genetically predisposed to developing the…
The primary objective of this study is to characterize the real-world outcomes of high rate spinal cord stimulation (HR-SCS) therapy as an aid in the management of chronic intractable pain of the trunk, including unilateral or bilateral pain…
What is the cost-effectiveness of minimal invasive posterior lumbar interbody fusion in spinal stenosis patients, compared to the standard open fusion?
The objective of the study is to set up and validate a digital neurotraumatology quality registry, to identify the most effective clinical care and to provide high quality evidence in support of treatment recommendations and guidelines.
The goal of this prospective cohort study is to assess fracture union/stability and clinical outcome after surgical and conservative treatments of type II/III odontoid fractures in the elderly patient (>=55 years). The general presumption is…
The primary goal is to compare functional (language) areas in the brain found by preoperative fMRI, to those found during intraoperative ESM (electrical stimulation mapping) and fUS (functional ultrasound) during awake craniotomies, to see whether…
The primary goal of this study is to compare ultrasound-guided ANB with FHB for analgesia during closed reposition of distal forearm fractures. Secondary goals are evaluation of feasibility in the ED regarding time and procedure success rate.…
To demonstrate that novel MEG sensors can be used successfully in clinical practice, and to demonstrate their effectiveness as a powerful diagnostic tool in epilepsy.
The objective of the study is to clinically assess the safety and effectiveness of LIQOSEAL® as a means of reducing intra- as well as post-operative CSF leakage in patients undergoing elective cranial intradural surgery with a dural closure…
To explore the clinical role of infection and inflammation in lumbar and cervical radiculopathy.
To compare the (cost-)effectiveness of early surgical hematoma evacuation versus a conservative treatment in elderly patients with a traumatic ASDH.
To document patient outcomes including effectiveness for Boston Scientific Corporation*s VerciseTM CartesiaTM 16-contact Directional Lead (X/HX) with Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) Systems for the treatment of Parkinson*s Disease (PD).
To make an evidence-based recommendation on which method has the best efficacy (PROM), patient treatment experience (PREM) and safety profile (complications).
In 2013 the Boston Scientific VERCISE System has obtained regulatory approval for use in the European Union, CE mark was granted for the treatment of intractable primary and secondary dystonia.The objective of the study is to compile characteristics…
The primary purpose of this study is to improve detection rate of (small) structural brain lesions by using ultra high field MRI in patients with focal drug-resistant epilepsy, and to use this information to improve seizure outcome one year after…
Firstly, to assess the ability of fUS to discriminate between functional and non-functional spinal cord areas using electrical stimulation paradigms during spinal cord tumor removal surgery. Secondly, to assess the ability of fUS to discriminate…
