Primary objective: Investigating whether 50 mg allopurinol is non-inferior to 100 mg in combination with azathioprine or mercaptopurine by measuring and comparing thiopurine metabolites Secondary objectives:-Comparing patient tolerability in terms…
The objectives are to evaluate the degree of bilateral benefit gained from having a second implant with respect to speech perception, spatial hearing, and listening effort.
To evaluate the effectiveness of bilateral implantation over unilateral implantation in children with severe-to-profound sensorineural hearing loss. Furthermore with this study we will investigate whether simultaneous bilateral implantation is…
In the present proposal, we aim to answer whether antenatal allopurinol administration does reduce hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy in neonates exposed to intra-uterine asphyxia.
Earlier studies suggest that Gaviscon alters the position of the acid pocket, as the number of acid reflux episodes decreased but the number of nonacid reflux events almost doubled after drug intake. (8) However, until now the formation of the raft…
The main objective of the present study is to investigate the optimal stimulation pattern for tinnitus suppression in a structured way. Our study will focus on two parameters: stimulus level and anatomical stimulation site inside the cochlea.
Is a higher dose of aerosolised salbutamol as a treatment for preterm infants suspected for developing BPD more effective than a lower dose on short-term clinical effects?
The ENT clinic in Groningen has developed a new speech coding strategy: phase-lock speech (PLS) coding. This strategy distinguishes from existing strategies by the explicit coding of acoustic fine-structure. In normal hearing subjects, the…
The objectives of this study are to evaluate the clinical outcome of a cochlear implant (CI) over standard health care therapy with either BAHA or CROSS in patients with SSD and to examine the cost efficiency of cochlear implantation in these…
The primary study objective is to determine whether Febuxostat daily 80-120 mg is better than Allopurinol daily 100-600 mg in inducing positive changes in Pulse Wave Velocity (PWV) after 36 weeks of treatment.
To compare the efficacy and safety of lenalidomide versus placebo maintenance therapy (standard care).
The aim of the current study is to examine whether it is possible to improve speech recognition in specific CI users by optimizing dynamic range and mean aided thresholds. Furthermore, we want to investigate to what extent patient counselling and…
To test whether the proportion of patients in remission during the last 6 months of follow up is higher for a T2T strategy compared to a T2S stop strategy.
The GO TEST OVERTURE study aims to demonstrate the superiority of the Treat to Target management strategy over a Treat to Avoid Symptoms approach in terms of clinical remission of gout symptoms.
The main objective of this study is to determine the most precise method for automatic threshold detection of eCAP measurements. Secondary, the correlation between the eCAP thresholds and behavioural thresholds will be examined (the accuracy of the…
A future project will focus on a new platform for at-home monitoring and testing of cochlear implants, developed by one of the manufacturers of cochlear implants, Advanced Bionics (AB). Their Research Application allows for clinicians to read out…
