To investigate whether sodium and potassium mutations are found in a cohort of patients with small fiber neuropathy, painful diabetic neuropathy (versus diabetes patients with no or only minor symptoms) and in patients with breast, ovarium or…
Objectives: 1. To assess the prevalence of pain in elderly with dementia and to study the relationship between the various subtypes of dementia and the presence of specific types of pain(e.g. nociceptive pain, neuropathic pain, and orofacial pain).…
The aim of this study is to analyse the analgetic effect of a local injection in the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve ( LFCN) with methylprednisolone/lidocaine (M/L) after localisation through elektro stimulation VS placebo. In this trial we hope to…
De lnternational CIDP Outcome Study (ICOS) aims to describe in detail the variation in clinical and electrophysiological subtypes, current practice of treatment, clinical course and outcom in CIDP. The second objective is to define the clinical and…
Primary: To explore the diagnostic value to distinguish PAF and MSA of a variety of tests: corneal confocal microscopy optical coherence tomography (OCT) to measure the retinal nerve fibre layer thickness and total macular volume, corneal…
The primary objective of this study is to investigate attenuation of pain and sensory thresholds during dorsal root ganglion stimulation using QST. The secondary objectives of this study are to investigate 1) To assess changes in pain intensity (NRS…
The aim of this study is to further explore ultrasonographic abnormalities of peripheral nerves in patients with NF and their relation with symptoms, findings in neurological examination and electrophysiological characteristics.Primary objective:…
To study the effect of a nerve block of the infrapatellar nerve with local infiltration with lidocaine or saline on chronic anterior knee pain after tibial nailing.Secondairy objectives:- to measure knee pain on a VAS for eight different activities…
To study whether flavoprotein imaging can be used to diagnose painful polyneuropathy, we first need to investigate whether a reproducible and validated flavoprotein signal can be obtained on the second fingertip of healthy subjects.
The purpose of the study is to investigate the effect of (repeated) cast immobilization on the bone strength of the lower leg in patients with diabetes mellitus. In this study, bone strength is examined by cortex thickness in millimeters and density…
1.To document natural history in this patient group and to establish which factors put patients at risk for an unfavourable outcome. 2.To determine which factors contribute to (reduced) quality of life (QoL) in patients with MMN.3.To investigate the…
Our primary objective is to study the cellular immune response in CIDP during different stages of disease activity and to explore their role as a biomarker for treatment response and disease activity in patients with CIDP.
To investigate the potential value of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) on a 3 Tesla and 7 Tesla MRI system and ultrasound (US) to visualize the peripheral nerves and muscles in the forearm to diagnose MMN and ALS…
The purpose of this study is to see if we can predict which patients with CTS are eligible for an injection, and which should be directly referred to a surgeon. This to shorten the period of the patient's symptoms and to save healthcare costs.
The primary objective of this study is to investigate whether SCS combined with best (drug) treatment as usual (TAU) leads to clinically significant (>=50%) pain relief in patients suffering from moderate-to-severe PDP in the lower limbs…
To develop pulse transit time into a diagnostic device which can be used to assess an altered cold/heat mediated vasomotor response (CHMV) (central component) and the flow-mediated dilatation (FMD) (peripheral component) in CRPS patients.
The primary aim of the proposed multi-site study is to determine if the CRPS Severity Score can be used as a clinical bedside tool to monitor CRPS change in symptoms over time, specifically progression or regression. Various interventions will occur…
to investigate if small nerve fibres are affected in patients with ICU-AW
Assess the natural course of UNE in patients with mild to moderate symptoms by using clinical, electrophysiological and ultrasonographic data
To clarify the aetiology of CTS and prognostic factors for the development of CTS.
