Concordance between MET diagnosis with and without the use of ultrasound with the chart review definitive diagnosis will be studied. Also other secondary endpoints will be evaluated.
Primary aim is to validate the SART as a screenings instrument for driver fitness in patients with narcolepsy and idiopathic hypersomnia.
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…
This project will investigate what the needs of patients with late stage parkinsonism, their families and of their carers are, what services and support they receive, and the extent to which their needs are met in different health-care systems. This…
The goal of this study is to describe the function of the arm of older children with an OBPP in terms of joint flexibility, muscle strength and active function. Also describe the participation level and the follow-up. This to look if the follow-up…
The purpose of this study is aimed at the effects of early discharge from a hospital followed by adequate rehabilitation planning in a nursing home. It concerns a (cost)effective evaluation of a renewed stroke care model that was implemented in 2006…
Primary ObjectiveTo evaluate the effect of a tailored behavioral change intervention comprising CBT and physical activity on participation (as measured by the DM1-Activ scale) for severely fatigued patients with myotonic dystrophy type 1 compared to…
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…
The main objective is to assess the added diagnostic value of biomarker assessment beyond the clinical assessment in patients suspected of TIA in primary care. Secondary objectives are i) to assess the prognostic value of biomarker assessment in…
We want to investigate if it is possible to set up the entire process of home mechanical ventilation outside the hospital. This means practically that the patients will not be admitted to the hospital. The goal of this study is to answer the…
The goal of this pragmatic, randomized controlled study is to determine the effectiveness of two relaxation techniques, eg. TM or HT added to the treatment of paediatric primary headaches in comparison to standard medical treatment (SMT). TM or HT…
