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.
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…
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…
1. Both tailored interventions will result in better outcomes on self-reported fruit, vegetable, high-energy snack and fat intake, than the generic information control group; 2. Both tailored interventions will result in better outcomes on secondary…
1. That adherence to the WHO recommendations (2003) for early child feeding among low-income Quetzaltenango mothers, specifically exclusive breastfeeding up to 6 months, is associated with higher growth attainment and greater disease resistance; 2.…
Intra-operative evaluation of efficacy and safety of a new lead for steering Deep Brain Stimulation.
Primary Hypothesis: 1. Sapiens lead is able to provide stimulation to the brain safely and elicit equivalent effects as commercial DBS systems. Secondary Hypotheses: 1. Steering can modulate the thresholds of stimulation-induced effects; 2. The…
It is expected that using the DEM-DISC will decrease the number of unmet needs and increase the number of met needs in people with dementia and their informal caregivers. Informal caregivers using DEM-DISC are expected to feel less burdened and will…

The hypothesis is that rhGH treatment in children with KS results within 6 weeks in a change of metabolism recognizable as an increase of total energy expenditure (TEE). This change in metabolism can be used as a predictor of growth response in the…
The number of people undergoing total hip or total knee surgery is growing. The majority of these patients has a favorable outcome with respect to pain, function and quality of life. In a small group of patients however the results are disappointing…
To objectivy the relative effectiveness of 2-duct ligation versus botulinum toxin in children with cerebral palsy who suffer from excessive drooling despite maximum conservative treatment.
Influenza-like-illness (ILI) is not only caused by an influenza virus infection, but also by other pathogens, both viral and bacterial. In this study nose and throat swab samples will be taken during ILI episodes to identify pathogens causing ILI in…
