The primary objective in the glucocorticoid-continuing subpopulation of men and women treated with chronic glucocorticoid therapy (>= 7.5 mg daily prednisone or its equivalent for >= 3 months and are planning to continue treatment for…
The primary goals of this study are to: i. Identify genetic variations responsible for PLP across the whole genomeMore than 90% of SNPs are found in introns or intergenic regions and most of them are probably of little functional consequence.…
A clinical pilot-study were we will look if one time shock wave therapy on the distal radius leads to an increased bone mass. At the same time we would like to study if shock wave therapy of the distal radius could result in complications and we…
The objective of this study is to evaluate whether an in- or outpatient initiation of the brace treatment has an influences short and long term brace compliance.
Effect on bone mineral density.
The primary objective of this study is:* The primary objective of this clinical trial will be to determine the efficacy of MMB compared with ruxolitinib as measured by splenic response rate at Week 24 (SRR24).The secondary objectives of this study…
1. The primary objective is to evaluate the characteristics of the distal radial growth plate on MRI (including functional imaging techniques) and on conventional radiographs in young gymnasts with wrist pain, compared to young gymnasts without…
What is the most optimal treatment strategy for children / adolescents with knee complaints? Our hypothesis is (based on the invasive surgical procedure) patients that will be surgical treated (index group) have a clinical relevant gain of pain…
To assess the effect of AMG785 treatment for 12 months followed by alendronate treatment compared with alendronate on the incidence of clinical fracture and new vertebral fracture.
Our aim is to study whether the pain response after three months in patients with bone metastatic disease increases after SBRT in comparison to low dose EBRT.
The objective of the study is to obtain information on the bioavailability and pharmacokinetics of the phenolics present in an olive leaf extract (Bonolive®, dose 250 mg), standardized on 40% oleuropein, and to identify the composition of the…
To investigate the long term stability (> 5 yrs) in patients treated with mandibular distraction osteogenesis (MDO) for correction of a Class II-occlusion. Hypotheses:1) MDO is a technique for mandibular lengthening with comparable stability…
This study aims to improve the first phase of rehabilitation after THA. The primary objective is to analyse the effect of feedback to the patients. The secondary objective is to quantify the weight bearing in the early phase after THA surgery.
• Compare bone density between patients with mild haemophilic and those with severe haemophilia*.• Compare the relationship between treatment regimen: prophylactic (high-dose vs. intermediate dose) and on-demand and bone density.• Examine the…
Primary Objective: - Are there mesurable changes in biochemical markers after BSSO in serum(CTX, P1NP, BALP, Osteocalcine, Calcium, vit D. CRP, BSE, leucocyten, IL6, creatine) and in urine(hydroxylysylpyridinoline en lysyspyridinoline)? - Can serum…
Primary Objective: - Determine the effectiveness of a treatment with pulsed electromagnetic field therapy in patients with medial tibial stress syndrome (MTSS).Secondary Objective(s): - Determine the feasibility of the study design.- Determine the…
To investigate in vivo whether a measurable increase in systemic ATP levels occurs in response to mechanical stimulation of bone in humans.
Is the lateral chest X-ray useful to look for vertebral fractures using the semiquantative method of genant in the geriatric population? Our hypothesis is that the lateral chest X-ray is a good alternative, with high sensitivity and specificity…
Evaluation of the effect of postoperative physiotherapy, after Chevron osteotomy, on foot function.
It is our goal to predict the efficacy of glucocorticoid-treatment of RA patients by means of a list of markers predicting the reponse to GC treatment in order to avoid ineffective but potentially harmful treatment in the glucocorticoid non-…
