The objective of this study is to investigate the effectivity on reducing or cessation of cocaine use of 1) working memory training, 2) N-acetylcysteine, 3) the combination of working memory training and N-acetylcysteine. Clinical measures (cocaine…
Primary Objective: Our primary objective is to investigate the effect of NAC on H2S levels in plasma in different patient groups, i.e. healthy volunteers, CKD patients, and dialysis patients. We hypothesize that there is an increase in H2S levels…
To find out if cervical TENS affects cerebral bloodflow as measured with transcranial doppler sonography in healthy subjects, and to find a dose-response relation for this effect. To find out if cervical TENS can suppress sympathetic tone as…
The primary objective is to establish the neuroprotective efficacy of NAC against cisplatin-induced neurotoxicity. Mainly the sensory neuronal guidance will be assessed before and after treatment with cisplatin in a group of patients receiving NAC…
1. Determine the influence of acetylcysteine on thiopuirine related hepatotoxicity2. Determine the relation between hepatotoxicity, thiopurine metabolism, amino acid availablility and markers for oxidative stress3. Determine the effect of…
Does antagonism of the adenosine receptor by caffeine lead to an increased LPS-induced inflammatory reaction and an increase in (subclinical) tissuedamage?Does the C34T-polymorphism of the enzyme AMP-deaminase lead to a decreased inflammatory…
The goals of the proposed study are: (1) to further elucidate the relations between impulse control, motivational strength of drug cues, and brain activation patterns (using fMRI); (2) to examine the relative strength by which these processes are…
To find out if patients with secondary cerebral vasospasm after SAH can benefit from cervical TENS.
to confirm that GMC 252 is absorbed in humansto determine in humans whether GMC 252 is cleaved, yielding diflunisal and N-acetylcysteine (NAC)to determine whether additional metabolites are formed with GMC-252 compared with diflunisal and NAC
investigate the value of percutaneous pulsed radiofrequency, applied to the lumbar and sacral dorsal root ganglion; more specifically try to determine if a significant and long lasting pain reduction can be obtained as compared to a sham-operated…
Investigate the value of percutaneous radiofrequency heat lesion, applied to the medial branch of the primary dorsal ramus; more specifically try to determine if a significant and long lasting pain reduction can be obtained as compared to a sham-…
Investigate the value of percutaneous radiofrequency heat lesion applied to the ramus communicans; more specifically try to determine if a significant and long lasting pain reduction can be obtained as compared to a sham-operated group. In addition…
Primary Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of intravenous NAC in comparison with placebo in terms of pain relief after unilateral inguinal hernia repair measured by a visual analogue scale (VAS 0-100) at day 1 after surgery.Secondary Objective(s):…
To evaluate the effects of N-acetylcysteine (NAC; Fluimucil® in Dutch) on skin picking behaviour in children and young adults with PWS.
