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).…
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…
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…
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 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.
to investigate if small nerve fibres are affected in patients with ICU-AW
To clarify the aetiology of CTS and prognostic factors for the development of CTS.
To determine the influence of a pure sensory polyneuropathy on balance correction in light of the first trial response and in light of multiple succesive identical perturbations, compared to healthy control subjects.
To study the inflammatory response (induration) to intracutaneous Candida albicans in healthy individuals, patients with diabetes without polyneuropathy, patients with diabetic polyneuropathy and patients with a history of Charcot neuro-…
Morphological and functional changes of the median nerve after neurolysis for carpal tunnel syndrome
The objectives of this study are twofold:1. To describe morphological and functional changes of the median nerve after neurolysis using US and NCS. 2. To correlate the morphological and functional changes to the clinical symptoms and signs
Implement a survey initiative to assess HIV prevalence for one or more diseases and/or conditions within a specific segment of the population not yet diagnosed with HIV and that present for care with the specific disease/condition.
By means of the administration of a visual search task, an associative learning task, and an antisaccade task, we aim to resolve the primary research question whether a painful hand (more than a non-painful hand) positioned nearby a visual stimulus…
As none of the proposed experimental conditions have been executed with chronic pain patients, our main objective is to determine the sensitivity of the experimental conditions. Besides, we investigate the attention-bias for pain signals that…
First, we investigate the attention-bias for pain signals that chronic pain patients (CPP) are suggested to have. Second, we investigate whether the chronicity of pain is related to faster learning and slower *unlearning* of new associations between…
To determine whether the ulnar nerve*s cross-sectional area decreases over time after endoscopic in situ neurolysis, and whether this correlates with electrophysiological findings.
To determine, in patients registered at our hospital having CRPS (types I) at the leg, the percentage of patients having clinical features compatible with SFN and compared to the unaffected leg (in unilateral cases) to determine possible focal or…
1) The primary objective of this pilot study is to compare the clonal composition of the TCR repertoire in anterior fascicular sural nerve biopsies with the TCR repertoire in peripheral blood of CIDP patients with active disease in order to identify…
