It is hypothesized that both positive verbal suggestions regarding an inert substance and a positive imagery exercise result in a lower sensitivity to physical sensations (pain, itch, and fatigue) than neutral verbal suggestions and/or neutral…
The primary hypothesis is that tubal patency test by a HyFoSy procedure is less painful compared to tubal patency test by a hysterosalpingography.
NT-proBNP guidance during in-hospital treatment of acutely decompensated heart failure (to strive for >30% reduction) reduces readmissions and mortality and increases the number of days alive out of hospital in the first 180 days.
The aim of the study is to compare the efficacy of per-oral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) to the efficacy of pneumodilation as the initial treatment of symptomatic idiopathic achalasia. It is hypothesized that POEM has a higher long-term efficacy than…
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the web-based intervention 'Leven met Pijn' in comparison to a minimal intervention condition and a waiting list control condition in terms of a decrease in pain interference in daily life…
The objective is to identify a formulation of ModraCape001 that will release capecitabine in vivo over a time-period of about 18 hours. We hypothesize that prolonged exposure, without a high peak exposure to capecitabine, improves the benefit/risk…
The implant stability for the GTS is equal to the Taperloc in the initial two years and also thereafter. Focus will be on proximal or distal migration of the centre of the stem, migration of the tip, wear and survival.
1. Cancer survivors experience more meaning in life after the intervention; 2. Psychological wellbeing in cancer survivors improves after the intervention.
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…
We hypothesized that avoidance of drainage after pancreaticoduodenectomy leads to less secondary interventions, less complications and a reduction in length of hospital stay.
The effectiveness of school-based ('Op Volle Kracht') and computerized ('SPARX') depression prevention programs will be tested in a Dutch sample of adolescent girls with elevated depressive symptoms. The programs will be tested…
Is a prevention program, based on principles of health behavior change, education about playing-related musculoskeletal disorders and postural training, more effective in preventing and/ or reducing disabilities from musculoskeletal complaints in…
Prelingually deafened cochlear implant users mostly do not achieve a high level of speech understanding with their cochlear implant (CI). We hypothesize that the information these patients are getting from their CI is often too complex for them to…
The intention to change behavior is related to changes in multiple physiological variables. Thermal comfort and thermal sensation are related to these physiological parameters. Furthermore, the intention of behavior is related to changes in thermal…
We hypothesize that more participants in the experimental condition, who are offered the computer-tailored feedback program, will quit smoking and that these participants will become more physically active compared to the participants in the control…
The incidence and types of infection are comparable in sterile suturing or clean suturing of traumatic wounds. Clean suturing is cheaper, less time consuming and requires less assistence that sterile suturing
The purpose of this study is to assess the suitability of a high efficient cardiac rehabilitation program from Canada in a Dutch setting in patients with a MI, PCI or CAGB within 3 months prior to inclusion and compare the efficiency of this program…
In the atrophic maxilla periosteal elevation with a resorbable membrane in the sinuses creates sufficient and reliable bone for later dental implant insertion.
The goal of this study is to determine whether radiosensitization with carboplatin or the addition of Isotretinoin to maintenance therapy improves cure rates for children with other than average risk medulloblastoma/PNET.
Rituximab (antiCD20) in association with chemotherapy has extended the survival of adult patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Also in adults, there is accumulating evidence of a benefit of Rituximab for Primary mediastinal large B-…
