There are about 13332 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Netherlands. 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.
Study to assess the possible effects of the use of a point-of-care thoracic ultrasound protocol for hospital medical emergency teams (MET)
Implementation of a previously shown (cost-)effective physical therapeutic treatment strategy for community-dwelling older adults.
This study aims to compare whether a combination of two drugs (Mifepristone and misoprostol) are superior compared to using only one of these drugs (Misoprostol) as medical treatment for a miscarriage. Women in whom early pregnancy failure, 6-14 weeks postmenstrual, is ultrasonographically confirmed qualify for this study. It is expected that the combination of Mifepristone and Misoprostol is more effective in reaching complete evacuation, and therefore can prevent more invasive treatment such as curettage.
The study is an randomised controlled trial (RCT) to test whether supplementation of vitamins, minerals and n-3 fatty acids may reduce aggressive behavior in people with intellectual disabilities.
An optimal nutritional status is essential for healthy ageing. Telemonitoring might contribute to maintaining or improving nutritional status in elderly people.The objectives of this pilot study are to test the feasibility, acceptability and implementation fidelity of telemonitoring of nutritional parameters in community-dwelling older adults; to test the study procedures for effect evaluation; and to determine the likelihood of achieving desired impact on the primary and secondary outcomes.
The MANUS Trial aims to examine the safety, feasibility and potential efficacy of intramuscularly injected allogeneic mesenchymal stromal cells as treatment for digital ulcers of systemic sclerosis.
This is a prospective, multi-center, case-control study where neurocognitive function will be evaluated in 36 patients with Cushing syndrome (CS) and 36 controls matched for age, gender and education.
The objective of this crossover study and randomized controlled trial (RCT) is to compare ΔP levels during INTELLiVENT®-ASV with conventional lung protective ventilation in the acute and sub-acute phase of moderate or severe ARDS. A total of 48 adult patients admitted to intensive care units with moderate or severe ARDS will be included. In the acute phase patients will receive 4 hours of INTELLiVENT-ASV ventilation and 4 hours of conventional lung protective ventilation in random order. After these two blocks the patients are allocated into either the INTELLiVENT-ASV arm or the conventional lung protective ventilation arm. in the sub-acute phase patients will be assessed every day until day 7 or extubation, whichever comes first. Primary endpoint is the transpulmonary transpulmonary (ΔP). Secondary endpoints of both studies include other ventilator settings and ventilation parameters, as well as time spent at a ΔP level of 15 cm H2O or higher.
MEDIRAD-BRACE aims to determine the relationship between 3D dose distributions in cardiac structures and the risk of acute coronary events (ACE) and other cardiac complications in breast cancer (BC) patients to develop and externally validate multivariable Normal Tissue Complication Probability (NTCP) models to assess the risk of ACE in individual patients based on cardiac dose metrics in the first 10 years after BC radiotherapy.
Excessive fat in the liver, in absence of high alcohol consumption, is diagnosed as non-alcoholic fatty liver (NAFL). NAFL prevalence is as high as 50-70% in obese people and is associated with impairments in metabolic health, e.g. insulin resistance. Not only the amount, but also the composition of the fat stored in the liver appears to be linked to health outcome measures, such as insulin resistance, but this evidence comes mainly from animal studies. Since fat composition has been linked to health outcome measures, it is important to understand what determines the fatty acid composition of liver fat. De novo lipogenesis (DNL) and adipose tissue fat composition are factors that could determine liver fat composition. Since the end product of DNL are saturated fatty acids and as the majority of fatty acids in the liver originate from adipose tissue, both may influence hepatic fatty acid composition profoundly. Here, our primary hypothesis is that DNL is associated with the relative amount of saturated fatty acids in the liver in overweight/obese humans differing in liver fat content. Furthermore, we hypothesise that adipose tissue fat composition is associated with liver fat composition and that liver fat composition is associated with liver, muscle and whole body insulin sensitivity in overweight/obese humans differing in liver fat content. To this end, liver fat composition, adipose tissue fat composition, DNL and insulin sensitivity will be measured in overweight/obese participants differing in liver content.
