Measuring the brain activity in patients with chronic WAD and compare the results with those obtained in healthy volunteers. The goal of this research is to better understand the cause of chronic WAD and how to better treat the WAD-patients.
1. Is there a difference between the level of activities and participation among adolescents with chronic musculoskeletal pain as compared with the activity and participation level of adolescents not suffering from chronic pain?2. What is the impact…
The primary objective of this study is to examine whether distraction interferes with CPM modulation differently in patients with fibromyalgia compared to healthy controls. Secondary objectives include assessing whether patients have a general…
The objective of the current study is two-fold. First, to identify the duration and severity of back pain in the elderly. Second, to identify possible predictive prognostic factors for developing chronic back pain.
To identify some of the mechanisms in patients in remission of Cushing*s syndrome that contribute to the persistence of visceral obesity, systemic inflammation, insulin resistance, sarcopenia, a low muscle oxidative capacity and increased risk of…
To assess the difference in acromiohumeral (AH) distance reduction during active isometric abduction tasks (with respect to rest radiographs) between the asymptomatic and symptomatic shoulder in patients with a unilaterally diagnosed RC tear.…
The main aim of this study is to investigate directed forgetting of emotional versus neutral words in patients with fibromyalgia compared to healthy controls. Secondary objectives are to examine potential associations between directed forgetting and…
This study will investigate the relationship between autonomic nervous system function and pain in fibromyalgia, with a specific emphasis on awareness of bodily sensations, also refered to as interoceptive awareness, as a potential modulator of pain…
We aim to define the role of systemic, low grade, chronic inflammation in the development of sarcopenia and therefore study patients with rheumatoid arthritis and patients with osteoarthritis as controls, on cellular and functional level. Until now…
