1) to investigate cognitive functioning in lacunar infarct patients with and without periventricular white matter lesions; 2) to identify predictors for cognitive dysfunction in lacunar infarct patients.
1) to investigate whether hypertensive patients with WMLs decline more strongly in cognitive function than hypertensive patients without WMLs in a 4-year time period. 2) to identify predictors for cognitive dysfunction in hypertension/SVD patients.
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…
The objective is to determine whether ITB Therapy is more effective than oral anti-spasticity agents in reducing the spasticity.
At the moment there is level III evidence for the efficacy of the MIT, mainly for the chronic phase. This study intends to establish a higher level of evidence, both for the chronic phase and for the post-acute phase, when aphasia treatment is…
•What is the prognostic value of CO2 reactivity compared to standard TCD measurements to predict the occurrence of DCI in patients with SAH?•Does magnesium therapy change CO2 reactivity after SAH?
To assess the additional prognostic value of combined CTP and CTA parameters to baseline patient criteria and plain CT. Secondary objective is to subsequently use the best CTP and CTA indicators of outcome of infarct in a prediction model for…
The aim of this study is twofold. Firstly, to investigate the test-retest reliability of the MSRS in stroke patients. And secondly, to study changes in MSRS score overtime in stroke patients in order to examine: a) the predictive value of the MSRS…
To sess the relationship between cerebral perfusion and clinical findings (neurological and neuropsychological) in patients with sickle cell disease.To compare iamging fincdings in children with and without sickle cell disease.
The goals of this study is twofold:At first we want to gain insight in neurocognitive functioning of children and adolescents (12-18 year) with JSLE.Secondly, we want to adapt and validate a Dutch translation of a short "Quality Life…
To demonstrate that after a reduction in systolic blood pressure between 20 and 80mmHg within 3 months to reach a target of 140 mmHg, cerebral blood flow is not lower than prior to the start of treatment.
The relation between somatosensation, nociception and the development of shoulder pain after stroke.
To identify somatosensory and nociceptive changes in the acute phase after stroke in relation to the development of shoulder pain.
To optimize glycemic control in acute ischemic stroke patients.
The aim of this study is to determine the effect of high orthopedic shoes on walking ability in stroke patients and to evaluate the effect of a period of exercising with high orthopedic shoes.Primary question:To evaluate quantitative and qualitative…
We hypothesize that intracranial vessel wall atheromas are an important underlying cause of middle cerebral artery obstruction. To test our hypothesis we will perform high resolution intracranial vessel wall imaging with a 7.0 Tesla MRI scanner in…
The main objective of this study is to get more insight in the muscle activity patterns of healthy elderly during cyclic reach and retrieval movements and circle drawing tasks. Additionally, the kinematics of elbow and shoulder joints during these…
To investigate if the detection of B-FABP is possible in the blood of TIA patients (between 6 and 72 hours after the onset of symptoms) and referred by their general practitioner to the outpatient TIA-clinic of the UMC Utrecht or Diakonessenhuis…
