Several open-label pilot studies have shown a promising effect of intrapyloric botulinum toxin injection on symptoms in severe gastroparesis. However, data from randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled studies are not yet available. We intend to…
Heart rate variability measures correlate with pain intensity in patients with advanced cancer.
1. ICVAD removal, followed by six months of silicone gel sheet use, will result in a scar width within the normal range, and normal scar structure, and thus will be superior to two months of silicone gel sheets and no gel sheets; 2. A smaller and/…
Mechanical bowel preparation (MBP) is common practice in elective colorectal surgery. In recent literature the value of MBP is subject of discussion. This non-inferiority, randomized study evaluates the value of MBP before colorectal surgery.
