-
Bedside point-of-care ultrasound to improve diagnosis of chest and belly pain in the emergency department
This will test whether point-of-care (bedside) ultrasound helps doctors make better diagnostic and management decisions for adults who come to the emergency department with chest or abdominal pain.
-
Understanding how inflammation affects smell in chronic rhinosinusitis
This study is testing whether a new treatment for inflammation can help improve the sense of smell in people with chronic rhinosinusitis and nasal polyps.
-
Study of how children's bodies respond to low blood sugar in type 1 diabetes
This study is trying to see how children's bodies with type 1 diabetes react to low blood sugar to help improve their management of hypoglycemia.
-
Limiting the radiation target area for glioblastoma to reduce treatment side effects
This trial will test whether giving radiotherapy with a smaller margin around the tumor (10 mm instead of 15 mm) for adults with newly diagnosed glioblastoma can reduce side effects and improve quality of life.
-
Belgians and Luxembourgians with childhood GHD: adult outcomes and follow-up
This study tests how adults who had childhood-onset growth hormone deficiency and were treated with rhGH fare in follow-up and ongoing treatment.
-
Assessing long-term dental effects of chemotherapy in childhood cancer survivors
This study looks at the long-term dental health of childhood cancer survivors who had chemotherapy to see if they have more dental problems compared to kids who didn’t have cancer.
-
Targeting Skeletal Muscle to Help MASLD
We are testing whether different levels of exercise can lower muscle fat content and improve MASLD in adults who have excess muscle fat.
-
Using MRI for safer pelvic measurements in pregnant women
This study is testing a new MRI method to safely measure the pelvis in pregnant women without using radiation, to see if it works as well as traditional CT scans.
-
Using lung ultrasound to improve physiotherapy for hospitalized patients with respiratory issues
This study tests if using lung ultrasound can help physiotherapists create better treatment plans for hospitalized patients with breathing problems.
-
Screening for rare diseases using blood and urine samples
This study is trying to collect blood and urine samples from people with suspected rare diseases and healthy individuals to see if they can find specific markers that help diagnose conditions like metabolic disorders and autism.
-
Exploring the effects of blue light on vagus nerve stimulation for epilepsy treatment
This study is testing if blue light can make vagus nerve stimulation work better for people with epilepsy who still have seizures despite treatment.
-
Understanding relapse factors in alcohol use disorder
This study is trying to find out what factors make people with alcohol use disorder more likely to relapse so that we can better understand and support their recovery.
-
Improving learning of a cough assistance technique in children
This study is testing if a fun coaching program can help children, both healthy and those with neuromuscular diseases, learn a special cough technique better than just regular guidance from a physiotherapist.
-
