The primary objective of this project is to test the hypothesis that CRT exerts beneficial effects on the microcirculation by recruitment of capillaries. The secondary objective is to compare the microcirculatory with the hemodynamic parameters and…
The research objective is to build a new theory of the biographical reconstruction process among people suffering from a life-threatening disease, focused on giving meaning and based on contingence theory and motivation theory. Explanatory note: *…
The objective of this study is to determine whether there is a difference in energy expenditure during the 6-minute walking test and 1-minute stair climbing test between age, height, body mass and gender matched MSPD patients (FM or CLBP) and…

Primary Objectives1. To raise awareness and enhance the diagnosis of patients with chronic low back pain (CLBP) with a neuropathic pain component who are refractory to standard analgesic therapy and/or one treatment for neuropathic pain in a primary…
The main objective is to develop an objective symptom profile of chronic neck pain patients which addresses more facets of the health problem, including sensorimotor dysfunction. The first stage is the establishment of an objective quantification of…
We aim to observe in whole blood at patients core temperature and normotemperature how mild therapeutic hypothermia affects coagulation and in particular fibrinogen, in post cardiac arrest patients.
To determine the test-retest reliability and agreement of the neck-FCE in patients with chronic non-specific neck pain.
Is it possible to reconstruct intraoperative left ventricular end-systolic pressure-volume relations from a combination of non-invasive finger arterial blood pressure measurements and transoesophageal echocardiography in patients undergoing surgery?
This study focusses on the added value of neuropsychological and psychophysiological factors in predicting treatment response of delinquents in the CoVa training. The aim is to figure out in what way neuropsychological and psychophysiological…
An alternative for guide-wire localisation might be the use of radio-active seed (I-125) implantation. This marker can easily be identified by means of a gamma-probe. This radio-active seeds are cilindric capsules (approximately 4 mm with a diameter…
