Most patients undergoing spine surgery with pedicle screw instrumentation will experience insufficient pain relief in the first three days after surgery, whereafter postoperative pain can be managed with conventional, non-opioid analgesics in most…
Renal artery denervation (RDN) on top of pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) will improve the success of ablative therapy for patients who have paroxysmal and/or persistent atrial fibrillation, with out of range hypertension (systolic >140 mmHg or…
The primary objective of this study is to determine patient perspective of and satisfaction with follow-up type and frequency after THA and TKA. Therefore, we will send surveys to patients who had a THA or TKA between 1 and 15 years ago.
The standard-of-care sentinel lymph node (SLN) procedure in paediatric cancer patients consists of a preoperative intradermal injection with 99mTechnetium-nanocolloid as radiotracer in combination with an intraoperative injection of blue dye for…
Does isolated cup revision surgery or liner exchange through the anterior approach result in increased functional status and higher patient satisfaction than through the posterolateral approach?
This intervention study investigates the effectiveness, costs and cost-effectiveness of a protein-enriched diet and resistance exercise training for 3 months on bone and muscle health, and quality of life in older adults recovering from an acute…
To evaluate the safety, feasibility and efficacy of an 8-week remotely supervised home-based maintenance exercise training program following pulmonary rehabilitation in patients with COPD.
The primary objective of the proposed research is to investigate in patients with PDD the efficacy of STN-DBS with best oral medical treatment (DBS-group) for disabling motor symptoms during off-drug phase compared to best oral medical treatment…
To assess the effectiveness of a cerclage in women with a twin pregnancy with a midpregnancy short cervix compared to standard treatment (no cerclage) in the prevention of extreme preterm birth (PTB) < 28 weeks of GA.
Phase 2 pilot-study: to examine feasible exercise dosages in patients with mCRC and collect data on preliminary effects on clinical outcomes.Phase 3 trial: to collect data on the efficacy of exercise on 1) chemotherapy dose modifications and 2)…
This study will determine whether there is a difference in disease free survival for patients treated with either a 1cm excision margin or 2cm margin for clinical stage II (pT2b-pT4b) primary cutaneous melanoma (AJCC 8th edition, Table 1). The…
To determine whether KJD is non-inferior on patient reported effectiveness as compared to a KP (i.e. usual care) for relatively young patients with end-stage knee OA. For the substudy: the primary objective is to predict the benefit from knee…
The aim of this study is to reduce the need for colectomy and its* associated morbidity and mortality in patients with high-risk pT1 or low-risk pT2 colon carcinoma after endoscopic polypectomy by performing a (robot-assisted) laparoscopic wedge…
To investigate the impact of different doses of handgrip exercises (moderate vs high intensity) and stimuli (exercise vs ischemia) on the ability to protect endothelial damage from ischemia-reperfusion injury in healthy humans. A secondary goal is…

The goal of this study is to investigate which treatment(-s) lead to the best outcome by using existing variation of practice.
The aim of this study is to investigate the safety and efficacy of CAL-WR as primary and curative colon-preserving treatment for T1 colon cancer. Our primary endpoint is reduction of oncologic resections for low-risk T1 colon cancer. As secondary…
To evaluate RRS with delayed RRO as an alternative for RRSO in BRCA1/2 gene germline mutation carriers. We hypothesize that RRS with delayed RRO leads to an equal ovarian cancer incidence when compared to RRSO.
