Background: Injury rate and injury severity of elderly cyclists due to self-induced cycle accidents increase with age. Starting at the age of 55 years, injury risk increases with a factor 4 at the age of 75 years. Injury mechanisms such as slippery…
Fluorescent near-infrared imaging can be used to identify the ureters using a low dose methylene blue.
It is hypothesized that participants who received information about social modeling effects in the intervention group consume less (snack) food compared to participants in the control group.
Tray application of 0.12% chlorhexidine gel-toothpaste has more than 15% better effect on ¡®de novo¡¯ plaque accumulation compared to tray application of regular toothpaste in a 3 day non-brushing model.
We hypothesize that RPCA is as effective in reducing pain relief scores as EA, with lower costs and easier achievement of 24 hours availability of pain relief for low risk women in labor.
1. Cancer survivors experience more meaning in life after the intervention; 2. Psychological wellbeing in cancer survivors improves after the intervention.
8 weeks after the PRF treatment we expect that the electric quantitative sensory testing (eQST) values are higher compared to the eQST values before the PRF treatment. This means that patients can tolerate a higher stimulation threshold. The…
A two month distraction period results in similar clinical beneficial effects as a three month distraction period.
Topical urea is a gold standard treatment for xerosis. Skin xerosis is commonly observed in diabetic subject. A correct hydratation of the skin is advised in order to reduce the risk of skin lesions such as ulcer. No comparative data are available…

The combination of breast surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy have a profound effect on the deep myofascial level and in turn, they create a vicious circle of adhesions and lack of mobility and pain in muscles, fasciae and joints around the…
Pain Rehabilitation Programs (PRP’s) are proven effective for patients with chronic musculoskeletal pain (CMP). Evidence about the relationship of dose on the effect of PRP however, is unavailable. We hypothesized that shortening PRP will not be…
