Evaluatie en implementatie van innovatieve diagnostiek en behandelingen
Als een nieuwe methode is ontwikkeld om een (neuro-)psychologische aandoening of hieraan gerelateerde gedragsfactoren te herkennen en te behandelen, kan deze nog niet direct in de klinische praktijk worden ingezet. Eerst moet de methode geëvalueerd worden, bij voorkeur in gerandomiseerde, gecontroleerde…

Onderwerp: Placebo
De effecten van veel behandelingen worden in belangrijke mate bepaald door andere factoren dan het geneesmiddel of de behandeling zelf. Zo kunnen placebo-effecten even groot zijn als het effect van bijvoorbeeld antidepressiva of pijnstillers. Factoren die hieraan bijdragen zijn het vertrouwen in de…
