To determine if a marked change in the concentrations of one or more of the selected biomarker is evident before PUs are visible
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…
1) To study the prevalence of secondary health conditions in persons with long-term SCI. It is hypothesized that longer duration of injury is associated with a higher prevalence of secondary health conditions.2) To explore the impact of secondary…
The primary objective is to find out whether there is enhanced processing of sensory stimuli when people are in pain and to find out whether SCS has influence on the processing of sensory stimuli applied on non painful body parts. We focus on the…
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…
Our main aim is to describe the 24-h circadian rhythm of skin and core body temperature in people with SCI and examine whether changes in melatonin and/or cortisol relate to the altered circadian rhythm in core body temperature recently described in…
The goal of this pilot study is to collect data about basal values and variations in these values of the damage markers FABP, Myoglobin, CK and CRP of people with a low complete spinal cord injury. This pilot study is a preparation for a large…
The purpose of this study is to determine if the development of idiopathic scoliosis is related to neuropathic detrusor/sphincter dyssynergia. When bladder and sphincter function are disturbed, adequate therapy can be started in an early phase to…
1. What proportion of X-ALD carriers have symptoms en what are those symptoms (as evaluated by history, neurologic examination and electrophysiology)?2. At what age did symptoms fist manifest themselves and how is the progression of those symtpoms?3…
To collect data regarding the prevalence of:I) - osteoporosis in SCI patients and the relation to characteristics of SCI. - fractures in SCI patients and the relation to characteristics of SCI. - active treatment of osteoporosis in SCI patients.II…
Long term follow up is lacking in this database. A follow up study in which patients in the database are invited to a follow up exam and imaging would be a much more complete picture of the development of TLK in achondroplasten.
To gain more insights in the mechanical properties of soft tissue under high risk for deep tissue injury type of pressure ulcers with US and MR Elastography.
With this study we will investigate the effects of lumbar sympathetic blockade on ERPF and measured GFR and relative changes in non - invasive hemodynamics measured before and after continuous lumbar sympathetic blockade or splanchnic blockade in…
To explore the clinical role of infection and inflammation in lumbar and cervical radiculopathy.
The primary objective is to study the association between maternal TL and the risk of SB in offspring. The secondary objectives are to investigate the relation between maternal TL and obstetrical (pregnancy course and outcome), environmental risk…
The overall aim of this study is to gain insight into the pathophysiological mechanisms behind cervical radiculopathy and determine if conservative treatment targets these processes. Different research questions are formulated:1) Is there any…
The primary aim is to determine whether the relative aerobic load of walking is a determinant of the amount of walking in daily life in people with a chronic spinal cord injury with a walking function. Secondary goals are to gain insight into other…
The overall aim of this study is to gain insight into the pathophysiological mechanism of patients with non- specific neck pain and cervical radiculopathy and the influence of MP on these mechanisms. Therefore, different research objectives are…
Thermoregulation in patients with spinal cord injury and cold sensations, an explorative pilot-study
To investigate whether SCI patients with regular complaints of cold sensations in daily life have more impaired thermoregulatory responses to changes in environmental temperature compared to SCI patients who do not have these cold sensations in…
