Filter by:Background: Research on the treatment of CRPS-I, as described in the Dutch evidence based treatment guidelines (Richtlijn Complex Regional Pain Syndrome type I, 2006), mainly showed improvement at the level of pain and coping with pain. Only little improvement in functional restoration was found. Research in other pain populations such al neck- and back-pain patients has shown that pain related fear contributes to the development of functional disability. GEXP in vivo which aims on systematically reducing fear of movement, shows promising results in CRPS-I patients (de Jong et al., 2005). Objective: The objective of the proposed project is to compare the effectivity of GEXP in vivo with that of standardized physiotherapy in CRPS-I patients with pain related fear. Design: The study concerns a single blinded, single center, randomized clinical trial. The treatment will be preceded by two pre-measures. After treatment there will be one post-measurement and 3, 6 and 12 month follow-up measurements. Population: The study population will consist of chronic CRPS-I patients between 18 and 65, with pain related fear (PHODA-LE-score ≥ 35 and PHODA-UE-score ≥ 32). Intervention: The two interventions that will be compared are GEXP in vivo (de Jong et al., 2005) and standardized physiotherapy according to the protocol of Oerlemans, Oostendorp, de Boo en Goris (1999). The GEXP in vivo comprises 17 sessions of one hour, the physiotherapy treatment of 34 sessions of 30 minutes. Both treatments will be given over a period of 17 weeks.
The aim of the study is to examine the efficacy of Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) in patients with functional disorders defined as severe Bodily Distress Disorder. Hypothesis: MBCT can ameliorate the symptoms of FD defined as severe Bodily Distress Disorder and decrease health care utilization beyond the effect of shared care. Patients treated with MBCT will function better physically and socially than patients treated with shared care at 12 months' follow-up.
The purpose of this study is to compare outcomes of combined chiropractic care in anterior knee pain patients with patellofemoral pain syndrome.
This study will evaluate the effectiveness of an integrated three-part treatment program in improving the quality of care and treatment outcomes of people with hypochondriasis in primary care settings.
This study will examine the long-term effects of cognitive behavioral therapy on the physical symptoms, functioning, and health care utilization of people with multiple medically unexplained physical symptoms.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether electrical stimulation enhances the effect of botulinum toxin type A (Dysport®) on myofascial pain syndrome.
In order to be able to study the effects of evoked fields with magnetoencephalography (MEG) in two groups of patients, comparison is made with a group of healthy volunteers.
The purpose of this study is to determine if lenalidomide is a safe and effective treatment for complex regional pain syndrome type 1 (CRPS).
This study's primary aim is to compare time to relapse and relapse rates in responders to acute escitalopram who are then randomized to placebo versus continuation treatment with escitalopram.
This study will examine the long-term effect of cognitive-affective behavior therapy on the physical symptoms, functioning, and health care utilization of people with somatization disorder.
