There are about 13364 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.
Baclo-Sleep trial aims to investigate the effect of baclofen on sleep after scheduled cardiac surgery.
Noninvasive brain stimulations (NIBS) will be used in healthy volunteers and in chronic stroke patients to improve bimanual activities and motor learning. Functional magnetic resonance imaging will be used to evaluate the mechanisms underlying bimanual activities and motor learning in healthy volunteers and in chronic stroke patients. A neuro-rehabilitation robot (REA2PLAN, AXINESIS, Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium) will be used for motor learning.
The proportion of hypertensive patients achieving adequate blood pressure control meeting guideline targets remains low. Of hypertensive patients, only 50% are on antihypertensive medications. Of those on blood pressure lowering drugs, only 50% have their blood pressure controlled. The objectives of this study are: 1. To test the feasibility of telemonitoring of blood pressure in Flemish general practices. 2. To investigate in a randomized fashion whether telemonitoring enabled self-measurement of blood pressure leads to faster blood pressure control than self-measurement without the telemonitoring information. 3. The secondary endpoints include various blood pressure indexes, adverse effects, a simple assessment of quality of life, adherence, a log of technical problems, and cost effectiveness (EQ-5D-5L).
tDCS (transcranial direct current stimulation) will be used in chronic stroke patients to improve a variety of functions with superior or inferior limb.
Noninvasive brain stimulations (NIBS) will be used in chronic stroke patients to improve motor learning. Functional magnetic resonance imaging will be used to evaluate the mechanisms underlying motor learning in healthy volunteers and in chronic stroke patients.
Noninvasive brain stimulations will be used in acute and chronic stroke patients to improve a variety of functions.
This is an observational prospective study. Role of EBUS-TBNA (endobronchial ultrasound transbronchial needle aspiration) is evaluated to diagnose tuberculosis in mediastinal and/or hilar lymph nodes. The investigators analyse the specificity and sensibility of this technique to diagnose tuberculosis in mediastinal and/or hilar lymph nodes. Patients with mediastinal and/or hilar lymph nodes on X-ray or CT thorax where a tuberculosis is the most probable cause and who have no parenchymal lesions suspected for tuberculosis and without other lymph nodes that are more easily accessible or palpable will be included in this study.
Asthma is the most frequent respiratory disease during pregnancy. In a third of cases, the level of asthma control can decrease during the pregnancy, especially between the 29th and the 36th week. The occurrence of such complications are linked with a high asthma severity level just before the conception and an history of respiratory complications in a previous pregnancy. Many reviews and recommendations claim that pregnant women with asthma should be included in an educational progamme. However, this is poorly studied. The purpose of this study is to observe if an educational programme given before the 20th weeks of gestation has an effect on asthma control until the end of gestation.
Study will evaluate the safety and potential benefit of talactoferrin (recombinant human lactoferrin) as an addition to the standard care for severe sepsis.
