Implementation of the guideline for aspecific CANS is expected to result in the following improvements compared to the current situation:

  • Better diagnosis of specific and - by exclusion - aspecific CANS.
  • Better (multidisciplinary) communication and cooperation between different care providers for patients with aspecific CANS.
  • Better information for care-providers and patients about effective treatments for people with aspecific CANS.
  • Patients receive univocal information about diagnostics, treatment and prevention.
  • Patients are better informed about decisions for diagnostics and treatment.
  • The key decisions and roles of the different care providers are presented with more clarity.
