There are about 13446 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Belgium. The country of the clinical trial is determined by the location of where the clinical research is being studied. Most studies are often held in multiple locations & countries.
This study investigates excessive avoidance behaviors in patients with a diagnosis of Anorexia Nervosa (AN) compared to a healthy control group. The study further examines the role of reward (relief) as a putative factor in maintaining excessive avoidance behaviors in AN.
There is strong evidence that recent intensive interventions based on motor skill learning principles are efficient on functional and neuroplastic changes of children with cerebral palsy (CP). Besides, impaired selective voluntary motor control (SVMC) is one of four interrelated neuromuscular deficits in children with CP and is listed in the ICF-CY (International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health for Children and Youth) under body functions. Additionally, impaired SVMC has been shown to negatively affect the motor and functional abilities of children with CP. However, there have been little scientific investigations on the trainability of SVMC according to therapeutic interventions. Therefore, the study aims to evaluate the effect of Hand and Arm Bimanual Intensive Therapy Including Lower Extremities (HABIT-ILE) on the body function and structures of children with bilateral and unilateral cerebral palsy, including SVMC and brain structure.
Recent research has shown that interventions with assistive technologies lead to an improvement in the motor and functional abilities of children with cerebral palsy (CP). REAtouch® is a new interactive interface based on motor skill learning principles. Its efficiency during intensive motor skill learning interventions has never been tested in children with bilateral cerebral palsy. Therefore, the study aims to investigate the efficiency of using a virtual reality tool to provide a motor skill learning intervention in a randomized trial.
Lumbar spinae stenosis surgery is a frequent intervention resulting in important postoperative pain. Management of this postoperative pain is thus important. Different pain management therapies exist. The erector spinae plane (ESP) block was described in 2016. It involves the injection of local anesthetics into the interfascial plane, deep to erector spinae muscle, allowing the blockade of the dorsal and ventral rami of the thoracic spinal nerves. It was initially proposed for analgesia of costal fractures, pulmonary lobectomy and thoracic vertebrae. The ESP block (ESPB) could probably be extended to a large number of surgical procedures. ESPB has so far not been investigated in lumbar spinae stenosis surgery.
To observe the quality of life (QOL) and to report on toxicity and outcome parameters after the (repeated) use of local ablative therapy (LAT) i.e. stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT) for patients with multiple (4-10) brain metastases
Myocardial microcirculatory alterations may be involved in the pathogenesis of acute cardiac dysfunction or septic cardiomyopathy in septic patients. The investigators study the cardiac function (systolic and diastolic) with two-dimensional echocardiography (TTE), and the myocardial microcirculation with contrast echocardiography (MCE) and sulphur hexafluoride microbubbles Sonovue injection in ICU septic patients.
The reason for this 12-month, open-label study is to see if the study drug lasmiditan is safe and effective for the intermittent acute treatment of migraine in children aged 6 to 17. The study will last about 12 months and may include up to 7 visits.
The reason for this study is to see if lasmiditan is safe and effective in children aged 6 to 17 with migraine. The study will last up to 20 weeks and may include up to 4 visits.
The effects of regular exercise on asthma control has not yet been well demonstrated. The aim of this study is to investigate the impact of submaximal physical exercise on quality of life, on symptomatic control, and on bronchial and systemic inflammatory markers in patients with persistant asthma.
